Join the Online Action Party & Urge Governor Hochul to Sign the Birds & Bees Protection Act into law!
On Wednesday, August 30, join an online Climate Action Party to save the bees! The NYS Legislature recently passed the Birds and Bees Protection Act, which was a huge step forward in protecting our pollinators from one of the most dangerous and toxic pesticides, known as neonics. Now we need your help in urging Governor Hochul to sign this monumental legislation into law. Tune in and take action! This event is free and open to the public, get your tickets TODAY!
Date: Wednesday, August 30, 2023
Time: 7:00pm – 8:00pm
Neonics are proving to be the most environmentally harmful pesticide since DDT. The Birds and Bees Protection Act would ban neonic treated corn, soybean, and wheat seeds, as well as cosmetic uses of neonics on lawns and golf courses. This will eliminate at least 85% - 90% of all neonics used in New York, protect water quality, and ensure we are not poisoning our birds, bees, and pollinators with this toxic pesticide.
Hear from an expert panel on the immense impacts neonics have on our pollinators, public health, and environment. You’ll hear from Dr. Kathy Nolan from Physicians for Social Responsibility, the Sierra Club Atlantic Chapter’s Caitlan Ferrante, and Dan Raichel from the Natural Resources Defense Council. During this event we’ll all take substantive actions using the free Climate Action Now App to ensure the Governor does the right thing and signs this nation-leading legislation. Register today and help protect our birds, bees, and pollinators!
Thank you for joining us!
Sincerely,
All of us at CCE
