Conference Highlights:<\/p>\n

Pesticide-Free Lawns and Landscapes<\/strong>
\nWith the Connecticut General Assembly\u2019s considering legislation that would repeal the state\u2019s ban on toxic pesticide use on school grounds by replacing it with a weak \u201cintegrated pest management\u201d (IPM) system, this issue will be a central theme at the conference. Speakers on this topic include: Warren Porter, PhD<\/strong>, professor of Zoology and Environmental Toxicology at the University of Wisconsin at Madison with expertise in lawn chemicals, especially low doses and mixtures; Chip Osborne<\/strong>, national organic turf expert and president of Osborne Organics; Patti Wood<\/strong>, executive director of Grassroots Environmental Education, a key player in the state pesticide bans; Paul Tukey<\/strong>, founder and spokesman for the Safe Lawns Foundation and author of The Organic Lawn Care Manual<\/em>; Sarah Little, PhD<\/strong>, author of Introduction to Organic Lawns and Yards<\/em> and editor of the NOFA Standards For Organic Land Care.<\/p>\n

Pesticides and Health<\/strong>
\nResearch continues to link pesticide exposure to health effects like ADHD, cancer, hormone disruption and more. Nationally renowned scientists will present their work and perspectives on the pesticide problem. Speakers include: Sandra Steingraber, PhD<\/strong>, ecologist and author of several books including Living Downstream<\/em> and Raising Elijah<\/em>; John Wargo, PhD<\/strong>, Yale professor and author of Our Children\u2019s Toxic Legacy<\/em> and Green Intelligence<\/em>; Routt Reigart, MD<\/strong>, Medical University of South Carolina professor and the nation\u2019s top pediatric expert on pesticides; Julia Brody, PhD<\/strong>, breast cancer researcher and director of the Silent Spring Institute; Allison Aiello, PhD<\/strong>, University of Michigan School of Public Health epidemiologist with expertise in antibacterial and infectious disease.<\/p>\n

Honey Bee Protection<\/strong>
\nConsidering that honey bees pollinate one-third of the food we eat, the decline in honey bee populations, which has been linked in part to pesticides, must be a national priority. The Forum will feature beekeepers and a groundbreaking university researcher. David Hackenberg<\/strong>, beekeeper to first discover Colony Collapse Disorder; Christian Krupke, PhD<\/strong>, Purdue entomologist who discovered EPA was severely underestimating honey bee exposure to pesticides; Robert Deschak<\/strong>, core member of the New York City Beekeepers Association who keeps hives on NYC rooftops; Ted and Becky Jones<\/strong>, owners of Jones’ Apiaries, and president and treasurer of the Connecticut Beekeepers\u2019 Association, who will be bringing a demonstration hive to the conference.<\/p>\n

Healthy Food: Fair, Local and Organic<\/strong>
\nPesticides not only affect the people who consume food, but also those who grow it and live near agricultural areas. The conference will begin with a tour of local urban farms (and pesticide-free playing fields), and feature organics as a theme throughout. Gary Hirshberg<\/strong>, chairman and co-founder of Stonyfield Farms and anti-GMO advocate; Nelson Carrasquillo<\/strong>, general coordinator CATA (Farmworkers Support Committee); Bill Duesing<\/strong>, executive director of the Northeast Farming Association of Connecticut (CT NOFA); Martha Page<\/strong>, executive director of Hartford Food System, a nonprofit organization in Hartford devoted to issues of food security.<\/p>\n

Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7047","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7047"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7047\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7052,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7047\/revisions\/7052"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
