   Pesticides have been used widely in the field of Agriculture. Alhough, there are many effects of pesticides in human health and environment, there is still hapazard use of pesticides. So, I conducted an Survey as Tunza EcoGeneration Regional Ambassador with more than 20 people. The survey was conducted visiting each household and with a questionnaire in the mobile survey application along with awaring each household about use, impact and alternative of pesticides. The result found was more than 80% people are using pesticides and more than 60% of them weren't aware about the doses and impacts of pesticides. There are alternatives of pesticides from Integrated Pest management, natural predators, along with botanicals and plant essential oil. I also awared farmers about the impacts of pesticides on environment and human health encouraging them to adapt to more eco friendly methods.
