NCAP works to protect community and environmental health and inspire the use of ecologically sound solutions to reduce the use of pesticides. We understand that both pests and pesticides are a problem. We help people become more pest-aware and to learn to deal with pests in ways that avoid the use of pesticides that harm our health, wildlife, soil, water, and the air we breathe. We demonstrate alternatives. We work with farmers, school groundskeeping staff and park managers to show their peers how they "do things differently." We also work in collaboration to change policy for the better. We work with diverse partners to learn the science behind the problems and solutions. Equity, diversity, inclusion and access are threads throughout our work as many communities experience increased exposure to pesticides. We seek the safest and best alternatives, and when there are none, we push for more research to find them. We research and reference the science behind both our cautions and our solutions. We work at many levels using many different strategies – all toward the larger goal of advancing alternatives and moving away from pesticides.
