A HEAL toolkit for communities and individuals wishing to reduce local pesticide use
Pesticides are chemicals designed to be toxic, and in many cases their toxic nature can be harmful to our health and the environment.
Mounting scientific evidence of the harm to human health and the environment from current pesticide use prompted the European Union (EU) to introduce a package of new laws to reduce our pesticide dependency. However, many Governments are being slow about carrying out the laws.
The toolkit is aimed at community groups and individuals wishing to reduce pesticide use in their communities and local areas. HEAL has drawn on experience of international pesticides and health campaigns to create a 6 step guide packed full of examples and model campaign materials.

The toolkit shows how to contact investors and to advocate for them to avoid harmful projects. The focus is on coal, as one of the most immediate threats, but much of the advice will also be relevant for other sectors.
"Making Sense" was designed to show how open-source software, open-source hardware, digital maker practices and open-source design could be used effectively by local communities to appropriate their own sensing tools to make sense of their environments, and address environmental problems, mainly in air pollution, noise and nuclear radiation. Based on nine elaborate pilots in Amsterdam, Barcelona and Prishtina, "Making Sense" developed a toolkit for participatory sensing, aimed at deepening our understanding of the processes which can enable collective awareness for sustainability. The toolkit consists of hardware, software and guidelines. the learnings of the project together in a Creative Commons licensed, on-line and printed book containing the "Making Sense" framework, 25 tools, 6 cases, multiple portraits and seven key insights. "Making Sense" was awarded with an Honorary Mention at the STARTS Prize 2018.
