## Description

SaferDisinfectants.org is an innovative platform created by the Maryland Pesticide Education Network (MPEN), a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting safe and sustainable alternatives to toxic pesticides since 1994. The website serves as a vital resource, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, by educating the public on safer disinfecting options that avoid exacerbating respiratory conditions in vulnerable populations such as children and hospitalized patients. 

Key initiatives include the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program, which helps schools and healthcare facilities adopt non-chemical pest control measures, and collaborative projects aimed at reducing pesticide impacts on the Chesapeake Bay ecosystem. The site also links users to an array of resources, including a monthly newsletter, pesticide research, and guidance on organic lifestyle choices via GoOrganicNow.org. 

With contributions from experts in environmental leadership, nutrition education, and software engineering, SaferDisinfectants.org empowers individuals and communities to make informed choices, promoting health and environmental sustainability through actionable insights and supportive tools.
