Cheshire Public Library

Neonicotinoids have caught the attention of the public, but they are part of the larger issues with pesticides. For many decades, we have been on the "pesticide treadmill," with each new pesticide promoted as better and safer, until we identify the risks to human health and the environment, and then, ultimately, the target pests become resistant.&nbsp; Dr. Kimberly Stoner explains why information about pesticide use in our state should be available to the public, so that researchers, policy makers, and concerned citizens can make informed decisions to protect human health and the environment.&nbsp;
This program is important for anyone who has a flower garden, a vegetable&nbsp;garden, and for those who buy flowers or food.&nbsp;
This program is made possible by the Friends of Cheshire Public Library, the Coalition for a Sustainable Cheshire and the Cheshire Pollinator Pathway. Thanks to the Petit Family Foundation for helping&nbsp;to bring this important program to our community.
