Take Action
We must take steps to reverse the dramatic loss of bees, butterflies, mayflies, caterpillars, other invertebrates, and birds from harmful pesticides. Research and data, from large academic institutions (Cornell, UConn) to government agencies (USGA, EPA), link the disappearance of pollinators and wildlife to pesticides.
For the upcoming 2025 session in Hartford, our focus will be on a category of pesticide proven to be as lethal as DDT. We call on state legislators to enact a law that would restrict high harm, low benefit uses of neonicotinoids including 1) cosmetic uses on lawns, golf courses, and ornamental landscape planting, and 2) seed treatments for corn, soybeans and wheat -- shown to not increase yields or provide economic benefit to farmers.
