‘A CHEMICAL REACTION’ TO BE SHOWN IN COOPERSTOWN

Additional Information

"A Chemical Reaction", a 70 minute documentary film, will be shown at Templeton Hall, on the corner of Pioneer and Church Streets in Cooperstown. Discussion will follow.  There is no charge to attend.  This film presents the story of how the town of Hudson, Quebec, goaded by a relentless woman physician, voted to ban the use of pesticides and herbicides. Although legally challenged by the chemical industry, the right of Hudson to pass the ban was ultimately affirmed by the Supreme Court of Canada, basing its decision on the "precautionary principle."  This event is sponsored by the Otsego County Conservation Association, Otsego 2000 and Sustainable Otsego.
