URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Toxic pesticides KILLING endangered species - stop the EPA from approving them for another 15 years! Please take immediate action!

Neonics pesticides are extraordinarily toxic, Friend. In fact, the EPA’s own assessment found that commonly used neonics are likely driving more than 200 threatened and endangered species toward extinction! Emerald dragonflies, Karner blue butterflies, and the beloved Rusty-Patched Bumblebee could disappear!

The Rusty-Patched Bumblebee population has PLUMMETED 90% in just the past few decades. Despite SPIRALING wild bee populations and the threats to hundreds of endangered species, the EPA is set to approve neonics for another 15 years! We don’t have 15 years -- bees are dying every second we wait! Please, Friend, tell the EPA to BAN bee-killing pesticides before it’s too late! Add your name by 11:59 pm TONIGHT!

* 327 SIGNATURES MISSING FROM YOUR STATE, FRIEND *

Bees and other pollinators support 1 of every 3 bites of food that we eat. Our grocery stores rely on them to keep shelves stocked. But neonics have made U.S. agriculture nearly 48x MORE TOXIC TO BEES over the past few decades, making it harder for bees to support the crops we rely on.

The science is clear, Friend: neonics are a danger to pollinators, endangered species, our food system, and the planet. The EPA itself has come to this conclusion, but it still could move forward with approving these toxic pesticides for fifteen more years. Help save bees and endangered species from neonic pesticides!
