[UC] RoundUp burning is visible

When I reported the RoundUp use in Clark Park before the fence went up, I also investigated the landscape company that the secret partnership was using at the time. The consumer complaints largely focused on what was often called "burning." (There was a lawsuit brought on this basis in either

Yes, I was at Harvard Yard a couple weeks ago and the soil and plants look much healthier than Clark Park! Penn did copy the new chair scheme in Clark Park from Harvard Yard. But the new Clark Park chairs are painted the same bright orange that poor people must wear on the UCD chain gang. (H

Citizens, As Rick recently corrected Mr. West, the harmful effects of RoundUp can occur at very minute levels. And in my past review of the literature, I recall that the breakdown of the active poison can take more like a week, despite the corporate marketing about drying time. When trouble

Actually, I am getting a bit muddled following this discussion thread. If the Friends of Clark Park don't really have any say or input as to what happens in Clark Park whether its plantings or chemicals used in the park, for what reason do they exist? The Fairmount Park System is one of the best
