Butterflies and herbicides & a super idea from Joyce M. Coomer

Entrepreneurship 101: Make and sell signs to stop roadside spraying which will be a let herbicide sprayers know not to spray, that you care about the environment!
(To LOCAL Yard Sign Manufacturers who produce the signs within the 7-County area: Please let us know when you have one to offer. If it's Joyce Coomer approved, we'll give complimentary, free-gratis-for-nothing, publicity. From one who's seen the Lincoln County brownouts from herbicide spraying, who almost wept at the brownout spraying in Green County, KY. Can't wait for Joyce's idea to take hold nationwide. - ED WAGGENER, Tree Hugger.)

By Joyce Coomer

Since the fiscal court is going ahead with the health and environment damaging plan of spraying herbicides where mowing is awkward, and since the garden club is inspiring people to establish plants beneficial to monarch butterflies (as well as a lot of other butterflies), I have an idea for some enterprising group.

. . . make and sell orange stakes with a large monarch butterfly on the top. These stakes could be placed along property lines where people have established areas beneficial to monarch butterflies and would be a signal to anyone who is spraying herbicides (or pesticides) that the property owners are working to have their place become a haven for butterflies, and would like to avoid herbicide and pesticide use on their property.

- Joyce M. Coomer
