Contello Towers 2015

Contello Towers 2 Corporation is a Brooklyn-based organization that has been actively fighting against New York City's pesticide spray program since 1999. Despite winning a lawsuit in 2007 and a settlement by the City admitting to the harmful impacts of the spraying, the indiscriminate use of toxic pesticides continues. The organization aims to raise awareness about the harmful effects of these chemicals on human health, as well as the ecosystem, including birds, bees, wildlife, and insects.

With little media coverage and insufficient notification, Contello Towers 2 Corporation strives to inform the public about the upcoming pesticide spraying events through flyers and random telephone pole notices. They advocate for transparency and believe that people deserve to know why and how they will be exposed to these harmful chemicals. The organization also highlights the lack of evidence supporting the effectiveness of the City's pesticide spraying in preventing West Nile virus, while emphasizing the detrimental impact on natural predators of mosquitoes, such as dragonflies and bats.
