Contello Towers, located in Brooklyn, NY, is a residential complex that has been actively fighting against the city's pesticide spray program since 1999. Despite winning a lawsuit in 2007 and exposing the harmful impacts of the spraying, the program continues with little notice or media coverage. The organization aims to inform the public about the indiscriminate spraying of toxic pesticides and its detrimental effects on human health, as well as the ecosystem, including birds, bees, and other wildlife. With a focus on transparency and awareness, Contello Towers strives to provide information about upcoming pesticide spraying events and their locations. They emphasize the need for individuals to close their windows and remain indoors during and after the spraying to minimize exposure. Additionally, the organization highlights the lack of evidence supporting the effectiveness of the city's pesticide spraying in preventing West Nile virus, while raising concerns about the harm caused to natural predators of mosquitoes, such as dragonflies and bats.Generated from the website
