The CDC has found a bee-killing pesticide in 50% of 3- to 5-year-old kids and 30% of adults. Their results show that exposure to neonicotinoids is far more widespread - and at much higher concentrations than previously thought.

URGENT: CDC Finds a Bee-Killing Pesticide in 50% of kids!

Take EWG’s quick survey to tell the EPA it’s time to ban bee-killing pesticides!

This is shocking, friend.

The CDC has found a bee-killing pesticide in 50% of 3- to 5-year-old kids and 30% of adults. Their results show that exposure to neonicotinoids is far more widespread — and at much higher concentrations than previously thought.

This is especially alarming in light of new research that suggests neonics may harm kids’ developing nervous systems and brains!

More research is needed, but the EU isn’t taking any chances. They’ve already banned four of these bee-killing pesticides, but the U.S. has failed to take any meaningful action to protect our environment or our health.

We need to get these pesticides out of our environment and our bodies now! Join EWG in the fight to ban neonics by taking our quick survey before midnight tonight.

Do you think the U.S. should ban neonic pesticides?

YES
 
NO

Thanks for your feedback, friend.
