Press
Conference
When: Thursday, March
8, 2012 1:00 pm
Where: Legislative
Office Building, Hartford, CT Rom 1A
Why: Connecticut's
landmark law banning the use of toxic pesticides on elementary and
middle school fields in Connecticut is in danger of being eliminated.
Pro-pesticide forces have introduced legislation that would roll back
protections for children's health and once again permit the use of
even the most toxic pesticides on school fields.
Speakers: Senator Ed Meyer, Co-chair, Environment Committee
Representative Dick Roy, Co-Chair, Environment
Committee
Public health experts, medical professionals, and
landscaping professionals
Representatives of sponsoring organizations
Sponsors: The Watershed Partnership, Inc., Environment and Human
Health, Inc., Citizens Campaign for the Environment, Grassroots
Environmental Education and twenty other non-profits, associations and
health organizations
THE PUBLIC MUST BE TOLD
THAT THIS PROTECTION FOR CHILDREN AT SCHOOL IS IN DANGER OF BEING
ELIMINATED!
