Home Depot Canada Voluntarily Phases Out Pesticides and Provides Consumers Over 50 Options in Natural Lawn Care
TORONTO, April 22 /CNW/ – The Home Depot(R) today announced that it will
voluntarily stop selling traditional pesticides and herbicides in its stores
across Canada by the end of 2008 and will increase its selection of
environmentally friendly alternatives.
   The Home Depot is the first home improvement retailer to stop selling
pesticides voluntarily across Canada and will phase out the products long
before legislated deadlines. The Home Depot stores in Quebec do not sell
pesticides. In addition, there are currently over 55 municipalities in Canada
where the residential use, but not sale, of pesticides is banned. As the
leader in the Canadian home improvement industry, The Home Depot will not sell
any traditional pesticides and currently offers over 50 natural alternatives
for its customers.
