Help out list
Research
- (1-2 hours) Sandra Steingraber (author of Living Downstream and Having Faith) is coming to town in mid-2004; want to email her agent to ask about the possibility of a dinner/speaking fundraiser-type event? Email info@reducepesticides.org for details.
- (1+ hours; flexible) Want to email one or more state legislators to get feedback on the proposal? Email info@reducepesticides.org for details.
- (10+ hours) Want to work on a pretty complex research project describing the history of pesticide use and regulation in the United States? This would require a sustained effort, including library research and email contact with experts. You'd have this draft timeline (in Microsoft Word) to work with. Email info@reducepesticides.org for details.
