Nantucket Eco Group

Nantucket Eco Group Being a year-round island community, we recognize that Nantucket’s natural resources are finite, but her citizens’ ideas are infinite.

The Nantucket Eco Group is a diverse group of Nantucket dreamers, thinkers and doers bringing light to sensible earth-friendly living from the ground up through food, art and education; learning to take less from Nantucket while returning more.

hrough food, art and education. From this unique perspective, we’ll come together in learning how to take less from our Nantucket while returning more for the greater good of all islanders. Through the Eco Group, you are as likely to connect with beekeepers and learn their craft as you are to discover the benefits of composting, growing your own food, keeping chickens, foraging for wild edible plants, learning about and planting native species on your property, alternative toilets, affordable renewable energy solutions, new island locales to paint, photograph and sculpt, drastically reducing your waste stream, water conservation, yoga and meditation.

Two States Said No to Bee-Killing Pesticides. Yours Can Too.
In 2023, New York made history by passing the Birds and Bees Protection Act, banning neonicotinoid coatings on corn, soybean, and wheat seeds. Vermont followed in 2024 with a similar law. These two states proved that meaningful action against bee-killing pesticides is possible, even while the federal government looks the other way. Their victories are now a model for the rest of the country.

The need is urgent. A single neonic-coated seed carries enough toxin to kill 250,000 bees, yet these treated seeds are completely exempt from EPA regulation. Last season, beekeepers lost over 55% of their hives, the worst on record. Meanwhile, over 95% of pregnant women carry neonics in their bodies. The pesticide grows into the plant and can’t be washed off our food or filtered from our drinking water.

New York and Vermont showed us the path forward. Now it’s your state’s turn. Contact your state legislators today and tell them to follow New York and Vermont’s lead. If two states can stand up to Bayer and protect pollinators, children, and our food supply, so can yours.
