Join us for an eye-opening discussion about pesticides commonly used on lawns and gardens and their negative impacts on human health, our environment, and biodiversity. Louise will discuss effective alternatives to pesticides and the importance of adopting sustainable practices to protect our air, water, and soil, and thereby promote biodiversity. She will also discuss the need to update state policy around pesticide restrictions, point out specific pesticide legislation currently being debated in the Connecticut Legislature, and what you can do to help make Connecticut a leader on this issue.
