Friday, April 29 from 11 AM to 1 PM is the Save the Frogs Day DC Rally.
Join the US Environmental Protection Agency in Washington, DC on the 3rd Annual Save The Frogs Day! They will be gathering at the steps of the EPA to raise awareness of frog extinctions and demand a federal ban on Atrazine, the 21st Century's DDT. Atrazine turns male frogs into females at 2.5 parts per billion...and it's on our corn! Eighty million pounds of it are dumped into American ecosystems each year. Once Americans know about the problems Atrazine causes, there will be overwhelming public support for a ban. The rally will take place from 11am to 1pm, and then we will head to Lafayette Park in front of the White House to celebrate. Founder Dr. Kerry Kriger will provide the keynote presentation.
