URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Tell the EPA to ban BEE-KILLING pesticides before it re-approves them for another 15 YEARS! >>
Picture this, Friend: you’re a round fluffy bumblebee, feeling wind through your fur and under your wings. The world at your size is beautiful – blades of grass like trees, and the actual trees like towering skyscrapers. Vibrant flowers are your personal landing pads, and the pollen you carry helps bring them to life for everyone to enjoy.
But the flowers you land on are POISONED. The toxic chemicals you’re exposed to make you uncontrollably TWITCH before becoming PARALYZED and DYING.
Neonic pesticides are KILLING BEES. Populations of vulnerable wild pollinators are plummeting. The EPA could ban these toxic chemicals – instead, it might approve them for another 15 years! YOU could help prevent over a dozen more years of bees being poisoned by neonics. HELP SAVE BEES: Send your message to the EPA before our urgent deadline of 11:59pm TONIGHT! We need 38 more signatures from your city to hit our goal!
Over the last two and a half decades, the beloved Western Bumblebee population has dropped 93% - neonics are likely no small part of why.
Pollinators like these support 1 of every 3 bites of food that we eat. We rely on them for a huge range of healthy fruits and veggies that keep us healthy. Along with food crops, tens of thousands of flowering plant species around the world depend on them for survival. Tell the EPA to BAN neonics before they WIPE OUT vulnerable bees! >>
Standing with you,
