Date: 2/13/25 8:30 am From: Jim Dugan via CTBirds <ctbirds...> Subject: [CT Birds] Please help to limit Neonic Pesticides
Neonicotinoid Pesticides are 7,000 times more deadly to insects than DDT and pose an enormous threat to bird life, biodiversity and human health. 96% of songbirds depend on insects for food. The largest declines in bird populations are among those that depend on insects and the declines mirror the insect declines worldwide which have been linked to neonics.
YOUR TESTIMONY IS NEEDED BEFORE THE FEBRUARY 19th PUBLIC HEARING
Please go to "CT Pesticide Reform” online for much more information on these incredibly dangerous pesticides, why they provide little to no benefit to users, and how to easily send Hartford, your State Senator and House Rep your Testimony, or on how you can give your Testimony in person in Hartford on the 19th.
Appreciatively,
