Tuesday, January 30
8:30 AM to 1:00 PM
Press Conference from Noon to 12:45 PM in the Cedar Creek Room, State House Montpelier

The Vermont PFAS Coalition, Vermont Pesticide & Poison Action Network, Lake Champlain International, Vermonters for a Clean Environment, Friends of Lake Memphremagog, and other environmental groups and activists will be congregating outside of the 2 entrances to Montpelier's State House and visiting legislative offices. The focus of this educational and advocacy event is to draw attention to environmental toxins and contaminants that are poisoning water, air, and soil in Vermont, as well as endangering the health of humans and other species.

The environmental groups also have legislative demands:

• Ban PFAS as a class of chemicals.
• End sewage and wastewater overflows.
• Reduce pesticide use by 50% by 2030.
• Ban landfills from releasing leachates into our waterways.
• Ban the use of biosolids on agricultural lands until they are proven safe.
