Home Depot quits selling pesticides in Canada

Home Depot announced last month that it will stop selling traditional pesticides and herbicides in its Canadian stores by the end of 2008 and will increase its selection of environmentally friendly alternatives. Quebec has already banned the use of “cosmetic” pesticides, The Cape Breton Post reported, and Ontario plans to ban 300 pesticides by 2009.
