Welcome to the SF Spray Area - LBAM Spray
Tuesday 08 Apr 2008 | LBAM Spray Bay Area
Thousands and thousands of business conferences, seminars, expos and conventions are held in the San Francisco Bay Area every year.
As the word gets out that the California Department of Food and Agriculture will be turning the famous region into a carcinogenic waste zone with their monthly aerial spraying of toxins, everyone is asking, “who is going to want to come here to do business, to participate in events, to build a life?”
Another important question is, “who will be liable for damages when conference attendees fall ill from the spraying?”
The simple answer, of course, is to host business and organizational events elsewhere. No event planner is going to want to walk into an empty symposium because all of his guests fled in the night when the spray planes started flying past their hotel room windows.
A recent San Francisco chronicle article evoked this quote from a reader:
“Lower property values. I went to an open house yesterday and the majority of people I spoke with said they are waiting to see what happens with the spraying. If they spray, they won’t buy in the area. Makes sense.”
It makes sense to us, too.
Millions of lives are being put on hold while we work to stop the spray, desperately determined to protect the humans, livelihoods, commerce and living and working environments of the 9 California counties set to be aerially sprayed starting June 11th. People are already suffering terrible financial losses as they sell their homes and flee, and for those who choose to stay and be sprayed, the economic damage is only just beginning.
Remember - California is the nation’s #1 tourist destination, and the tourism industry employs nearly 1 million residents. San Francisco, in particular, is a world-famous location for some of the globe’s largest and most profitable business events. Tourists and financiers alike are going to need to book elsewhere for the sake of their health, and as for buying a home, the spray stands to give the housing scandal the last shove it needs to turn into a full-blown crisis.
If you’re changing your life and business plans to stay out of the toxic spray zone, don’t just walk away. Be sure to let the conference centers, the hotels and the tourist board why you won’t be visiting the spray area. Your voice matters hugely in this movement to stop the spray.

Oh, and just won’t the little college darlings and their parents be surprised this September . . . and just think of all the colleges and universities in the San Francisco Bay Area Region!
Come this September many incoming freshman from outside the area and even California will know nothing about the LBAM issues and will be aerial sprayed with the LBAM pesticides: UC Berkeley, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Hastings School of Law; San Francisco State University; University of San Francisco; etc.
California’s Governor Terminator and CDFA’s Kawamura will have the worst nightmares with all those LBAM college protests at UC Berkeley and Santa Cruz. The evening news should not be missed.
BPM -
Point well taken. This is a disaster for kids who have worked like crazy to get to the point where they are going to attend a college. I am so worried about all my nieces and nephews.
Are there protests scheduled at the colleges? I had not heard this. Please, share any details you have.
The deans of each of these schools you’ve mentioned should be contacted. I wrote to Berkeley’s University and reminded them of their long history of human rights protests. Let’s see if today’s college kids are as smart and conscientious as former generations…I bet they will be!
The millions of ways in which this is affecting life just keep totaling up.
