One day at softball practice, Mary Catherine Hanafee LaPlante noticed that noxious pesticides and herbicides were being sprayed on the field directly next to her. After arming herself with information and scientific research, she founded Speak Up Green Up (<a href="https://www.speakupgreenup.org/" target="_blank">https://www.speakupgreenup.org/</a>) to lobby her district to swap in less harmful alternatives and encourage others to do the same.
