Michael Dunne: I’m Michael Dunne. When thinking about buying a house, or even just re-evaluating where you currently live, online maps can be a valuable tool. They can show you the locations of parks, transit stops and schools, and a quick click can even show you where the best restaurants are located. On the show, we’re going to introduce you to a new map, one that can be invaluable when considering the safety of your home’s location. It’s a map created by the environmental group Beyond Toxics, and it shows the patterns of pesticide and herbicide spraying in our community.
