In May of 1999, the Sebastopol City Council voted to establish Sebastopol as a Voluntary Toxics Free Zone. With this resolution, the City chose to not use toxic pesticides on City maintained property, and to support voluntary reduction of pesticide use among residents, thus creating a healthier Sebastopol for everyone. To implement this resolution a volunteer citizen's group called Sebastopol Toxics Education Program ( STEP) was formed. One of STEP's projects is a newsletter called, "The Next STEP", which is sent out to City residents in their water bills. For an ongoing index by topic for The Next STEP newsletter, see http://www.healthyworld.org/STEPIndex.html.
