IMPORTANT NOTICE
Thank you for your interest in our webinar “The Trouble with Turf,” scheduled for this Thursday, January 23rd.
Unfortunately, we have been threatened with legal action by a manufacturer of artificial turf. Out of an abundance of caution, while our attorneys fight back against this effort to block the public discussion of the human health and environmental issues surrounding artificial turf, we have decided to temporarily postpone the event until a later date.
We anticipate a dismissal of this baseless legal threat and look forward to rescheduling our webinar in the very near future.
