URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Bees are on the BRINK, and toxic neonics are pushing them
closer to EXTINCTION every second that passes. Take action to help SAVE BEES NOW! >>

Friend, bees are essential pollinators that play a
crucial role in our planet’s ecosystems, including providing us with 70% of the world’s most nutritious crops.

That massive number can be hard to conceptualize on a global scale, so think of
it this way:

* Bees are responsible for 1 in every 3 bites of food that we eat.
* Without bees, we would have significantly fewer fruits, vegetables, and nuts
readily available to us.
* Less of these crops also means higher grocery prices, worsening the food
security gap for those already facing socioeconomic barriers to access to
healthy foods.

To put it simply — if essential pollinators like bees were to vanish, it would
have tangible and devastating consequences to the world’s entire food supply.

But despite the pleas and scientific data from environmental experts, greedy Big
Ag and pesticide companies continue to market consumer products containing toxic pesticides called neonics , believed to be a primary driver for the recent drastic decline in bee populations.

If we’re going to STOP this mass pollinator die-out and prevent an INSECT APOCALYPSE, we urgently need the Environmental Protection Agency to step up and prioritize people, the planet, and our pollinators above pesticide profits. But it’s going to take A LOT of public pressure to persuade the EPA — so we’re
calling on 4,591 more grassroots activists like you to raise your voice by signing our petition by TONIGHT’S 11:59 P.M. DEADLINE. Can we count on your signature right now to help protect bees from being WIPED
OUT by toxic neonics?

[[link removed]]Neonics are the most widely-used pesticides in the entire world. They are not
only FATAL to bees but have also been linked to serious health risks in humans — including heart and brain malformations, memory loss, tremors, and even
cancer!

Pesticide industry giants like Bayer-Monsanto have spent big money on strategic
campaigns to deceive the public and downplay the DANGERS of neonics. But the science is out, Friend, and consumers like you
know see right through Big Ag’s deceptive and dangerous lies.

The EU has already banned the worst neonics, but here in the states, the EPA has
yet to take action. In fact, the agency might actually even APPROVE these harmful pesticides for another 15 years! For the sake of people, our planet, and pollinators, we cannot let that happen,
Friend. Your advocacy is truly critical to our environmental goals, and we just can’t
make a big enough impact without you. So please, Friend,
will you take immediate action now to demand that the EPA bans toxic neonics
before it’s too late?
