Скачать или смотреть Neonics, The Toxic Truth: The Pesticides Threatening Bees, Birds, and Our Health

This webinar will explain the science behind the threats posed by neonicotinoid pesticides, aka “neonics,” to pollinators, biodiversity, and our own health, as well as neonics’ surprising prevalence in our environment—and our bodies. 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.

Dan Raichel focuses on protecting our nation’s bee populations from the ever-growing threats to their health and existence—in particular, the use of bee-toxic pesticides. Before joining the Nature Program, Dan was co-director of NRDC’s Community Fracking Defense Project and an advocate for the cleanup of industrial pollution.

Lena Freij works to reduce or eliminate the use of pesticides that are harmful to human health and wildlife. Prior to joining NRDC, Lena was the Honors Attorney Fellow at EPA Region 10, where she brought administrative enforcement actions against violators of air, waste, pesticide, and toxics statutes.
