[[link removed]]POV: You’re a BUZZING BEE -- flitting between petals, slurping tasty nectar, and bringing flowers and
crops to life for your human and animal friends to enjoy.
But you land on one flower and drink POISON along with the nectar. You begin to
uncontrollably SHAKE and TWITCH before being PARALYZED and DYING!
This is happening to millions of bees across the world, Friend. Toxic neonic pesticides are to blame. They can kill bees on
contact, and over the past two and a half decades have made U.S. agriculture
nearly 48x more toxic to bees.
Meanwhile, the EPA is prepared to approve these toxic chemicals for another 15 YEARS! Bees cannot afford another 15 years of neonics – many species are already being
driven toward extinction! You can help PROTECT bees and STOP the EPA from approving bee-killing
pesticides! Please, Friend, take just 30 seconds RIGHT NOW and send
a message to the EPA to help SAVE bees and other pollinators!

[[link removed]]Hundreds of thousands of plant species depend on pollinators for their survival
– and so do many of our most nutritious crops. In fact, bees and other
pollinators provide 1 of every 3 bites of food that we eat. If neonics continue to kill bees, many fruits, veggies, and nuts may start to
be harder to find on your grocery store shelves.
Approving neonics for another 15 years would be a CATASTROPHIC mistake, not just for pollinators but for our ecosystems and food system. But it’s a mistake that the EPA could very well make without YOUR action. If just 1 of every 7 people reading this email takes action, we can help
PROTECT bees from toxic pesticides! Sign by 11:59pm TONIGHT!
