Pesticides promise convenience, but at what cost? Explore how these chemicals harm people, pollinators, and the planet—and what you can do about it.

Every day, we’re exposed to pesticides...

...through the food we eat, the air we breathe, and the greenspaces where we live, work, and play. These chemicals aren’t just a nuisance; they’re dangerous. Studies link them to cancer, hormonal disruption, reproductive problems, kidney and liver damage, and nervous system disorders.

The impacts aren’t shared equally. Black, Indigenous, and low-income communities in the U.S. face higher exposure and greater harm, making pesticide use both a public health and environmental justice issue.

Bring Re:wild Your Campus to Your Classroom

Want to bring the movement to your students? Our team is available to meet with classes, student groups, and faculty to lead engaging, educational conversations about pesticide use, organic land care, environmental justice, and the power of student-driven change. Whether you're a professor looking to connect coursework to real-world environmental action, a student organization ready to mobilize your campus, or a faculty member exploring sustainability topics, we'll meet you where you are. We can tailor every session to your course material, your campus context, and your students' interests, so the conversation feels relevant, not canned.
  • A deep dive into how student campaigns have created lasting institutional change
  • Hands-on exploration of rewilding and what it could look like on your campus
