Friend, pesticide corporations want you to ignore their devastating impact on our planet. But nearly 50% of U.S. honeybee colonies PERISHED last year, and neonics are largely to blame. Frantic beekeepers worked tirelessly to help their colonies survive, but the massive bee DIE-OFFS won’t stop unless we take action.

Here’s the problem: Neonics are the most widely used insecticides in the entire world. They’re NEUROTOXIC to our precious bees and wreak havoc on our ecosystems – contaminating our soil and water for miles around. But our farming system still uses MILLIONS of pounds of these chemicals every single year! The pesticide industry’s chokehold on our farming system is so strong that even the seeds of our major crops are coated with neonics.

It’s worse than you think, friend. Studies show little to no benefit to farmers of coating seeds with neonics. Instead, it’s putting the future of our food system at risk! Communities worldwide could pay the price by losing access to nutritious, pollinator-dependent foods like fruits, nuts and vegetables as bee populations continue to decline. And to make matters worse, neonics have also been linked to developmental defects in babies.

But chemical companies have a powerful lobby fighting to hide the truth and allow them to keep control. They’re spending MILLIONS on targeted misinformation campaigns to deceive farmers and consumers and downplay the fact that their toxic products, like neonics, POISON our bees and harm our health! Even more, ecological farming solutions already exist that could protect pollinators and our planet. But the pesticide lobby is suppressing the urgent bee-saving solutions we need!

We MUST fight back to get neonics OUT of our farm fields and to protect our pollinators, our communities and our planet before it’s too late. We urgently need 22 more activists from your area to speak out before 11:‌59 p.m. ton‌ight – but we're still missing your response! Tell us now:
