fresh fruits and vegetables are extremely expensive or virtually impossible to
find. Where you never see wild bees in your backyard garden. We are getting far too close to this reality. And despite the risks to pollinators, companies like Bayer-Monsanto continue
their RECKLESS production of massive amounts of BEE-TOXIC pesticides. But with your immediate gift of $27 or more to Friends of the Earth, you can
help save bees, our food system, and our planet and help us reach our $4,700
goal before it’s too late!

One in three bites of the food we eat is at stake. Vulnerable ecosystems are at
stake. The health of our families and communities is at stake. Yet Big Ag
corporations like Bayer-Monsanto continue to disregard these facts. Instead,
they continue to profit from toxic pesticides linked to the decline of wild bees and other pollinators on
the brink of extinction.
Friend, your gift of $27 or more now could help turn
around the “insect apocalypse.” We can’t wait a moment longer when our bees are dying -- and scientists are
warning of a potential “catastrophic collapse of nature’s ecosystems.”
We have no time left to lose to save our bees and protect our planet. Donate $27
to Friends of the Earth today!

[[link removed]]In the last two decades, western bumblebee populations have declined by 93% --
and within just one human generation, the odds for bumblebee survival have dropped
by a third. U.S. beekeepers lost a staggering 45.5% of their managed honeybee colonies from
April 2020 to April 2021 -- among the highest losses ever recorded. Every day,
bees are dying at devastating rates while working to pollinate $50 billion worth
of crops in the U.S.
But the threats to bees are present at every turn. When exposed to toxic neonics
like those Bayer-Monsanto sells, bees’ ability to forage, navigate, and
reproduce is severely affected. These toxic pesticides can also kill bees
directly.
Big Ag’s continued production of toxic pesticides threatens not only bees but
our health as well. Many commonly used pesticides have been linked to cancer, reproductive harm, and learning
disabilities , yet they continue to be sold and used on millions of acres across the U.S.
We can shift the market to bee and people-safe alternatives by putting pressure
on key companies. We are demanding that garden retailers like Home Depot and
Lowe’s stop selling toxic pesticides and that grocers like Kroger stop selling
food produced with bee-killing pesticides. Friends of the Earth is also working
with legislators at the state and national levels to ban bee-killing pesticides
-- a bold but necessary step towards a healthy future for bees, people, and the
planet.
Help hold corporations accountable for harming bees, our health, and our planet
with toxic pesticides. Donate $27 today and help us reach our $4,700 goal before
midnight TONIGHT.

[[link removed]]Big Ag corporations like Bayer-Monsanto have fought our efforts to save bees and
other pollinators from their toxic products at every turn. We are not giving up
-- not by a long shot -- and we are only able to continue our fight because we
know you and other members are with us. But if we are going to get bee-killing
pesticides out of our food system, we need your donation today.
With over 700 North American bee species currently at risk, wild bees are becoming a rarer sight every day. Bees are showing us that the
massive use of toxic pesticides in our food system is not sustainable for our
future, and we are working to amplify this message and fight against corporate
greed.
Your membership gift today can help ensure a brighter tomorrow for bees, for all
of us, and for our only Earth. We cannot rest until this threat to people,
pollinators, and the planet is stopped! Will you join us, Friend?
Vulnerable bees are barely hanging on, encountering toxic pesticides at every
turn. Help us fight for a sustainable future for bees and our planet by making
your urgent $27 donation to Friends of the Earth.
