Environmental Working Group

EWG is committed to supporting and joining our fellow Americans who are on the front lines in the fight against racial injustice, including environmental racism. We stand in solidarity with the Black community and others that have been disenfranchised for far too long.

For decades, communities of color have been forced to bear a far greater burden from pollution and a lack of access to food and consumer products that are free from ingredients that are inferior and harm their health. Our priority is to ensure that every person, no matter their race or economic status, is able to live a healthier life in a healthier environment.

Wow, friend.

The EPA just reopened its comment period on pesticides threatening bees and is asking to hear from the public again.

We need your help urging the agency to BAN pesticides that can be fatal to bees. EWG has already submitted more than 50,000 comments from supporters like you, but now we have the opportunity to do even more!

Will you help us submit 25,000 additional comments before the EPA’s new June 18 deadline?

Click here to add your name to EWG’s petition calling on the EPA to ban bee-threatening neonic pesticides!

These pesticides aren’t only harmful to bees, neonicotinoids have also been linked to harming kids’ developing nervous system and brains. That’s alarming news, since the CDC has already found neonics in 50% of 3- to 5-year-old kids.

This year, when EWG scientists compiled our Dirty Dozen™ list, we discovered neonicotinoid residues in 84% of raisin samples tested. American children under the age of 15 eat a total of about 208 million pounds of raisins each year.

The government needs to do more to protect our kids from these toxic pesticides!

This is our last chance to weigh in on the EPA’s decision on neonics, and we only have until June 18. Can we count on you to stand up for kids and bees?

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

Thanks for standing with us, friend.
