Any herbicide ban like this also needs to go hand in hand with by-law enforcement on those who let weeds grow wild; and therefore allow the seeds to blow over into neighbouring yards.
I wonder how many people would stop using herbicides if none of their neighbours had weed problems.
Same thing for pesticides- how many bugs are caused because my neighbour has his kids' "Mr. Turtle Pool" full of rain water all spring? Then you get into the storm drain ponds; the city should be stocking them with fish if they want a natural solution to controlling insect populations.
