Martina Hellrigl and her son Anton sit in a tree house inside their garden in the town of Mals. Mrs. Hellrigl is the mother of two. She is part of the initiative “Hollawint” that has been fighting for the realization of a referendum in Italy’s northern most province South Tyrol. The inhabitants of the town of Mals were, after a fight with politicians and apple farmers, given the right to vote about the ban of pesticides. Around 75% voted for banning the pesticides, which is a novelty in the European Union. Mrs. Hellrigl took part in the initiative because she felt she also owned it to her children to protect the nature around them from the heavy use of pesticides.
