The War on Bugs
Will Allen, author of The War on Bugs, will be at Lyon Books at 7PM on Wednesday, April 16th.
"In The War on Bugs, Allen documents how chemical weapons manufacturers, among others, convinced farmers to spray their toxic wastes on our soil, devastating our land and our health. You won't believe what they didn't teach you in school. The produce aisle will never look the same to you again." –John Passacantando, Executive Director, Greenpeace USA
Allen will give a presentation and sign books, which will be followed by a forum with the newly formed public advocacy group Safety Without Added Toxins (SWAT), who will share about local pesticide issues and ways we can make our community a safer and healthier place.
This event is sponsored by Pesticide Watch Education Fund (http://www.pesticidewatch.org), an organization dedicated to fighting dangerous pesticide use in California communities.
