Environmental Working Group

Friend,

I know it’s late, but there are a few things you need to know:

1. The USDA recently found brain-damaging chlorpyrifos and bee-killing pesticides on frozen strawberries.

2. EWG is running very short of the funds we need to continue our work in 2021 protecting your health from toxic pesticides.

We’ve got big plans for 2021, but it all hinges on how much we raise right now. Can you chip in $10 right now to help us reach our goal? Any amount makes a difference.

Remember – anything you give today will be matched, doubling the impact of your gift. There’s no better time to give.

Thanks for your support, friend.

This is shocking news, friend.

The USDA has found brain-damaging chlorpyrifos and bee-killing neonics on frozen strawberries! This is incredibly concerning in light of recent studies that suggest neonics may also harm children’s developing nervous systems.

We shouldn’t have to worry about toxic pesticides at the grocery store. That’s why EWG is fighting to get pesticides like chlorpyrifos and neonics out of our food. But we need your help.

We’re running out of time to reach our year-end fundraising goal, and we’re falling dangerously behind. We need our work to be fully funded in order to continue the research you rely on and fight for stronger protections. Can we count on you to chip in today?

Click here to rush a donation of $10 or more to support our work to get chlorpyrifos and neonics out of our food!

EWG will never stop fighting for your health – and we get results. Just look at what we’re facing next year:

•	Fighting continued attacks on our pesticide work. The head of the a major Big Ag front group has pledged to use tougher tactics to try to shut down our Dirty Dozen list.
•	Shedding light on the influence that pesticide companies have on the EPA and the risk assessment process.
•	Preventing the EPA from declaring pesticides like atrazine and chlorpyrifos to be safe when there’s scientific evidence that they aren’t.

But none of this work is possible without your support. We need to raise $116,758 before midnight on 12/31 in order to fully fund our pesticide work in 2021. If you rely on our work, please donate today. Any amount makes a difference.

Donate $10 or more today to fund EWG’s work in 2021. Our work to protect your health has never been more important.

Thanks for your support, friend.
