Dear friend,

A new study published by the Royal Society has just revealed that massive declines in bee populations may already be affecting our food supply! Bees have been disappearing at an alarming rate around the globe, and scientists believe bee-killing pesticides – neonicotinoids or “neonics” for short – may be responsible.

The study found that lack of bees is hampering the production of apples, blueberries and cherries in the U.S. Bees are key pollinators and are responsible for one-third of our food supply.

The E.U. has already banned four of these toxic pesticides, but the U.S. has failed to take any meaningful action to protect our environment. Now the U.S. is finally considering legislation that would BAN neonics and protect bees, but we need your help to get the job done.

We need 5,862 of our top supporters to complete our quick survey on neonics before 11:59 p.m. tonight. Your response will help us in the fight to ban neonics!
