Tell the EPA to ban bee-killing uses of toxic pesticides once and
for all.

URGENT: EPA keeps delaying action on bee-killing pesticides

The EPA continues to delay the timetable for its legally
mandated safety review of bee-killing neonic pesticides, likely
for years. Bees are dying NOW — they can't afford one more minute
of our government kicking the can down the road.

Dear NRDC Activist,

Alarming news: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) is once again postponing its long-overdue assessment of the
dangers posed by bee-killing "neonic" pesticides — likely
delaying this all-important safety review until as late as 2026.

In the meantime, bees and other pollinators are dying at an
alarming rate from a deluge of these toxic neonics, pushed by
agrochemical giants like Bayer. Plus, a growing body of evidence
links these neurotoxic chemicals to alarming human health risks —
including birth defects of the heart and brain.

And we depend on bees and other pollinators for one out of
every three bites of food we eat. Simply put, fewer bees = less
food.

Bees can't wait: We need to ratchet up the pressure on the
EPA to save bees from toxic pesticides and put pollinators and
people ahead of industry profits. ( [link removed] )

This is a fight we must win, and we're in
it for the long haul. Nothing less than the future of our
pollinators, our health, and our food supply is at stake.

Adding insult to injury, as bee populations have plummeted,
neonic sales have soared — highlighting the need for urgent
action. A single neonic-treated crop seed can contain enough
active ingredient to kill a quarter of a million bees — and today
neonics are the most heavily used class of insecticides in the
United States.

By law, the EPA should have taken steps to ensure that
neonic use would not push imperiled species toward extinction
before it approved these toxic chemicals for sale — but they
didn't. It was courtroom action by NRDC and our partners that
forced the EPA to take a hard look at the impact of neonics on
endangered species.

And now, even after years of delay, the EPA would have us
wait years longer for it to ponder what action to take. Enough is
enough.

Send your message to EPA Administrator Michael Regan,
urging him to direct his agency to heed the science, ban
bee-killing uses of neonics, and save pollinators and the future
of our food supply. ( [link removed] )

Thank you for fighting for the bees. I'm confident that if
we stand together and make our voices heard, we can win this
fight.
