No.5, Winter 2004 - Support PAN UK to get this and future issues
This edition you'll find free videos and posters to get everyone talking about pesticides, and articles on a topic most of us certainly love to talk about. The very stuff of life itself - food. The theme is suitably chilling for this wintry time of year - chemicals on our plates that certainly weren't on our shopping lists, and whether the government is taking them seriously or not.

As the weather warms up many Greenfly readers (PAN staff included!) will be spending more time outside in gardens and on allotments so now is an excellent time to trawl through those shelves and sheds and throw out old or disused pesticides. Of course, they shouldn't go down the sink or into your bins so read on to find out more about a unique new webpage that will help you to dispose of them safely!
