    1 Square Foot: The Threat of Neonicotinoid Pesticides

    Lena FreijJoin NMEAC for a fascinating presentation by Lina Freij of NRDC (National Resources Defense Council) on the science behind the threats posed by neonicotinoid pesticides, aka “neonics,” to pollinators, biodiversity, and our own health, as well as their surprising prevalence in our environment.

    1 square foot of grass can have enough neonics to kill 1 million bees

    The popular pesticides contaminate soil, water, and plant life on a nearly unprecedented scale, driving mass losses of birds and bees, and raising alarm bells for wildlife, clean water, and human health.

    RSVP below to receive your link to join the webinar from Zoom.

    50% of people are exposed to neonics regularly
