While this weather is inspiring an early round of lawn care around Ohio, science is pointing to the dangers of some widely used fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. On the other side of Lake Erie, Ontario officials have taken that science to heart and are now one year into a ban on many of those chemicals. That ban is one of the topics scientists, policy makers and environmentalists will take up at the Greening The Community conference in Cleveland this weekend.
