Neonics: The New DDT
2025 CT Legislation
Take Action
A grassroots coalition of individuals and conservation organizations in Connecticut united in our advocacy for a significant reduction in dangerous pesticides. Press release January 27, 2025.
Neonicotinoid pesticides are 7,000 times more lethal to insects than DDT. They pose an enormous threat to clean water and biodiversity in our state. Read the 2025 Report, Neonicotinoids in Connecticut Waters
The Connecticut Legislature is in session and the Environment Committee has raised a bill to restrict neonicotinoid pesticides HB 6916. We invite concerned residents to join us in supporting this bill.

Please ask the Environment Committee to vote to move HB6916 forward. The list of members is here. If any of your legislators is on the list, contact them. The chairs are Senator Rick Lopes and Representative John Michael Parker.
