 than a billion pounds of pesticides are used in the United States each 
 year.\n\nWhile many assume this use is highly regulated, the reality is 
 that the Environmental Protection Agency has for decades refused to assess 
 the impacts of pesticides on endangered species or look at some of the most 
 basic impacts on human health, like farmworker exposure or how our bodies 
 react to being exposed to multiple pesticides at once.\n\nJoin us for an 
 hour to learn what the Center is doing to ensure that endangered species 
 and people, especially vulnerable farmworkers and children, are protected 
 from dangerous pesticides and how you can help.\n\nAbout a quarter of 
 pesticides used in the states are deemed too dangerous to be used in the 
 European Union and other major agricultural nations. Pesticides are also a 
 leading cause of pollinator declines, but are still heavily used even on 
 public lands set aside for wildlife protection.\n\nThere’s much work to 
 be done to protect all of us from pesticides.\n\nYOUR UNIQUE REGISTRATION 
 LINK WILL BE EMAILED TO YOU FROM ZOOM. THIS WILL BE THE LINK YOU USE TO 
 JOIN THE CALL. PLEASE LOOK FOR IT (POSSIBLY IN SPAM) AND KEEP IT FOR YOUR 
 RECORDS.\n\nNOTE: By joining this webinar, you agree to receive 
 communications from us so we can work together to keep the wild 
 alive.\n______________________________________________________________\n\nABOUT:
