John,

Europe’s wild bees are in a death spiral – and the EU is about to make it much worse.

The European Commission is proposing changes that would allow unlimited approvals for ALL pesticides – with no mandatory safety reviews and no requirement to consider new scientific evidence on the harmful impacts of the chemicals in these products. 

If this passes, toxic chemicals could stay in the market forever!! Unless we stop it.

Bayer and industry lobbyists are working hard behind closed doors to rush this through before the public catches on. Our best chance is to overwhelm the Commission with thousands and thousands of our voices demanding they protect bees, nature, and people – NOT Bayer’s profits.

Tell the EU Commission: NO unlimited pesticide approvals!

Wild bees pollinate a third of our crops. Without them, we would lose apples, tomatoes, and countless other foods we rely on. Their survival is our survival. And pesticides are decimating whole populations of them. In the last decade, the number of wild bee species at risk of extinction has more than doubled.

The Commission’s proposed changes would accelerate their deaths and cause untold harm to people for generations to come. They would allow open-ended approvals, eliminate mandatory review of new scientific evidence, and double the time banned pesticides can stay in the market after they’re ruled too dangerous for use. 

This would be the biggest rollback on pesticide protections the EU has ever seen. It’s critical we act now – while we can still influence what happens next. 

Together, we’ve won many bans on dangerous pesticides and forced some of the world’s biggest companies to pull their products from the market. If we come together now, we can push the Commission to do the right thing and defend the laws that protect all of us from toxic chemicals. 

Tell the EU Commission: NO unlimited pesticide approvals!
