Key Message
When the EU proposed a ban on many effective pesticides, the ECPA sought a simple yet engaging way to challenge policy makers’ perceptions. The resulting piece, done for Brussels-based Blueprint Partners PR, showed how pests would be the only winner if the pesticide ban was put in place.
What the bugs have to say.
The European Commission’s proposed regulation to ban or “cut-off” pesticide use continues to stir much debate. Most concerned groups have already weighed in on this important issue — pesticide makers, farmers, the food industry, the government, and consumers. Everyone has staked out a position. There is one group, however, whose voice still needs to be heard. A group that has the most to win and the most to lose: the bugs themselves.
