Neonics & Advocacy: Protecting Pollinators and Influencing Policy

Neonicotinoid insecticides, commonly known as “neonics,” have become the most widely used insecticides in the U.S., leading to drastic declines in bees, pollinators, birds, and aquatic ecosystems. In this webinar, Lucas Rhoads, Senior Attorney with NRDC’s Pesticides & Pollinators Team, will share expert insights on how neonics impact our environment and pose serious risks to human health. He’ll delve into the harms associated with neonic-treated seeds, which are a major source of contamination, and explore effective policy advocacy strategies to rein in their widespread use without disrupting farmers or landscapers.

Key Takeaways:

• Understand the environmental and health impacts of neonicotinoid insecticides.
• Learn how treated seeds contribute to widespread contamination.
• Gain actionable advocacy tactics to reduce neonic use and protect pollinators.
