Perfect Earth Project
Perfect Earth Project has collaborated with local artist Judith Hudson to create an eye-opening PSA to alert animal lovers that lawn and landscape chemicals are dangerous for pets. Hudson’s artwork poster will be distributed for free following a successful Goodcircle community crowdfund. The goal for the campaign is to raise $11,450 for widespread distribution of the poster. The project has been backed by local businesses partners Marders and Bulgin & Co.

“Living in Amagansett, one feels close to nature, and it is impossible not to see the ravages of over cultivation and the effects on the ecosystem. The massive spraying is not working to stop the ticks; it makes things worse,” said Hudson. “There is collateral damage to pollinators like bees and butterflies, flowers, birds, fish, pets, and children especially, but all systems are affected. Perfect Earth Project approaches the problem by trying to understand natural systems, not fight them. I support all these efforts.”
