Dear Liz,    An estimated 72 million birds are killed by pesticides and other toxic chemicals every year. Birds are not the only victims, though – overuse of harmful pesticides has led to insect population declines and adverse human health effects, too.    Yet these dangerous chemicals are widely available and used for everything from food production to home gardens.   At our upcoming webinar, "Pesticides 101: How You Can Protect Birds and the Environment," we'll discuss the impacts of pesticides, how existing regulations are working – or failing – to protect the environment, and how individuals can reduce pesticide use at home.   Speakers: Edward "Hardy" Kern, Director of the Pesticides and Birds Campaign, American Bird Conservancy Lori Ann Burd, Environmental Health Director, Center for Biological Diversity Aaron Anderson, Pesticide Program Specialist, Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation WHAT: Pesticides 101: How You Can Protect Birds and the Environment WHEN: Tuesday, June 7 at 4:00 PM ET WHERE: Zoom (link provided upon registration)   I hope you join us! If you can't make it, you can still RSVP to get the recording sent directly to you after the event.   Sincerely, Jordan E.
