SUMMARY:Silent Spring II: The Dangers of Yard Pesticides
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Concord resident Wilson Kerr \nForty percent of all of our insect species now face extinction. US Monarch butterfly populations are down 80-90% in the last 20 years. Since 1970\, the number of songbirds in the United States has dropped by over 3 billion.  \nAnnually in the US\, a staggering 80 million pounds of pesticides are applied to our yards\, and yet most people have little to no working knowledge regarding the risks and dangers of their use. The rapid rise of highly toxic “Neonics” is particularly alarming and yet most municipalities\, including Thoreau’s Concord\, do not regulate the use of these toxins and other pesticides on private property. Wilson Kerr will present on this topic with the hope of raising awareness and informing our group. He will also cover some practical\, effective\, non-toxic alternatives. \nWilson writes the Time Outdoors column for the Concord Bridge and is an amateur naturalist and avid outdoorsman. He has two young daughters and has developed a personal interest in the largely unregulated use of dangerous lawn pesticides (and why towns cannot or will not restrict their use). Wilson grew up in Belmont and has lived in Concord for nine years.  \nHosted by ConcordCAN\, the Concord Climate Action Network \nArrive at 7:45 am to enjoy coffee\, treats\, and conversation
