John,

The decision is up to us. Do we want to live in a world with bees... or a world without?

More than 1 in 4 native bee species in North America are at risk of extinction.1 If we don't take action, we could face a future where our most essential pollinators vanish from the face of the earth. And that future would be bleak for plant life, wild creatures and humans alike.

We're choosing a future where bees are protected. That's why we're strengthening our campaigns to limit bee-killing pesticides and protect pollinator habitat. And if you donate today, every single dollar will be matched, up to $25,000 nationwide. Can I count on you to help us reach our goal?

Help make a bee-friendly future a reality. Donate before midnight and your gift will be matched dollar-for-dollar.

Our pollinator populations are nearing a tipping point. Our agricultural landscape is 48 times more toxic to bees than it was just 30 years ago.2 It's no wonder our smallest, hardest-working pollinators are vanishing as a result.

It's going to take a lot of work to make a difference for bees before it's too late. But it is possible -- as long as we take bold action right now.

And that's exactly what we're doing. Our national network is working to limit the worst uses of bee-killing pesticides, urging companies to take those same pesticides off their shelves, and protecting essential pollinator habitat around the country, one backyard or wildlife sanctuary at a time.

Right now, you can double your impact for these campaigns and more. Donate before midnight tonight and help us save the bees.

Thank you for working alongside us for a bee-friendly future,

Ellen Montgomery

Your donation will be used to support all of our campaigns to protect the environment, from saving the bees and protecting public lands, to standing up for clean water and fighting climate change. None of our work would be possible without supporters like you. Environment Colorado may transfer up to $50 per dues-paying member per year into the Environment Colorado Small Donor Committee.
