What: Join ABC and NRDC for a virtual talk on the science behind threats posed by neonicotinoid pesticides (“neonics”) to pollinators, birds, and our own health. These pesticides are surprisingly prevalent in our environment. They contaminate soil, water, and plant life on a nearly unprecedented scale, driving mass losses of birds and bees, and raising alarm bells for a host of other wildlife, clean water, and human health. The webinar will also provide information on the current efforts in Colorado to support wildlife health and habitat. Find out about local action you can take and what’s happening at the federal level.
