Researchers and practitioners specializing in lesser-known aspects of marijuana production—land use, pesticide use, water quality, and other environmental impacts—will discuss issues that are often left out of mainstream discussion and political analysis of the marijuana economy. Panelists will propose a more constructive and progressive approach to ensure environmental and human health protections.
Panelists include Tony LaBanca, Senior Environmental Scientist with the California Department of Fish and Game, Stormer Feiler, an Environmental Scientist with the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Tony Silvaggio, Ph.D., an Environmental Sociologist in HSU’s Department of Sociology, and Curtis Miller, an Environmental Planner with the Hoopa Tribal EPA.
The meeting will be the first of a series of discussions on the topic of environmental impacts related to the marijuana industry.
