Spinosad is a natural insecticide. Spinosad is a relatively new insecticide that is made up of two complex organic compounds, spinosyn A (right) and spinosyn D. These compounds are produced by certain microbes that were first discovered in soil found at an abandoned rum factory. Spinosad is a broad-spectrum, organic insecticide. The term broad-spectrum means that it is toxic to a wide variety of insects. It is, however, relatively non-toxic to mammals and beneficial insects. If used carefully only insects that actually eat something that has been treated, such as a leaf, are affected.
I have a general avoidance policy towards plastic, particularly disposable plastic. I seek less toxic alternatives to plastics whenever I can. But I make an extra special effort to avoid certain plastics, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC), also known as vinyl or the #3 plastic.The Center for Health, Environment and Justice (CHEJ) calls PVC  the most toxic plastic for childrenâs health and the environment .. Vinyl is the least recyclable plastic because of the diversity of additives used to make different types of PVC products. 2  In addition, when PVC-products are accidentally mixed with non-chlorine plastics, they contaminate the entire recycling process.
