We know what we don’t want: dodgy trade deals like TTIP, CETA and TISA. But what might a good deal look like? Is a trade deal that’s fair for farmers, workers and citizens really possible? And what would it look like?

This event is a space for ‘blue-sky’ thinking on the ins and outs of what our ideal trade deals would look like organised by Trade Justice Scotland coalition (we used to be Scotland Against TTIP). Expert input will be from Jean Blaylock, trade policy officer for Global Justice Now.

A free workshop hosted by Pesticide Action Network UK from 12.30 – 15.30 on Saturday 1st July at the Burgh Halls, Linlithgow.

The day will focus on why we need to stop the use of all pesticides (including glyphosate) on streets, parks, playgrounds and other public areas, what the benefits are and how you can organise a successful campaign in the area that you and your children live, work and play in.

PAN UK has been running a Pesticide-Free Towns campaign since July 2015 and are already seeing success with councils turning away from the use of pesticides.

They have developed a range of materials for local activists to use freely to support your campaign. They also have experience of starting, running, growing and winning campaigns, and would like to share those experiences with you.

There will be short presentations from a range of speakers TBC and will be a participatory event for all attending – you will leave ready to make the place that you live in Pesticide-Free.
