Here are three numbers that should worry you. 42% of bee colonies collapsed in the U.S. alone in 2015. 50% of 3- to 5-year-old kids tested positive for a bee-killing pesticide in a CDC study. 4 of these toxic pesticides are already banned in Europe.

Here are three numbers that should worry you, friend.

42% 
of bee colonies collapsed in the U.S. alone in 2015. These key pollinators are responsible for pollinating one-third of the food we eat, and scientists believe neonics have played a key role in their rapid decline.
50% 
of 3- to 5-year-old kids tested positive for a bee-killing pesticide in a CDC study. Emerging research also suggests neonics can harm kids’ developing nervous systems and brains!
4 
of these toxic pesticides are already banned in Europe. But the U.S. has done nothing and continues to allow more than 4 million pounds of neonics to be dumped on American farmland each year.

The EPA is asking to hear from the public, but we have to submit our petition before the EPA’s April 4 deadline.

We know it’s going to take a tidal wave of grassroots support to force the EPA to listen to average Americans instead of the pesticide industry. That’s why we’ve set an aggressive goal of collecting more than 50,000 signatures in just two weeks.

It’s going to be close, but if everyone reading this email took action, we’d hit our goal today!

Click here to tell the EPA to stand up for human health and our environement instead of pesticide industry profits. It’s time for the U.S. to BAN bee-killing pesticides!

Thanks for standing with us, friend.
