NRDC Activist, [ [link removed] ]there's just hours left to have your donation go three
times as far to support NRDC's hard-hitting campaign to put an end to the
uses of toxic neonic pesticides that threaten our vital bees and
pollinators, the future of our food supply, and our health.

With you by our side, we'll go toe-to-toe against the big chemical makers
that are pushing these bee-toxic pesticides, galvanize the public, battle
in court, and defend our environment on all fronts. This may be our best
and last chance to stop the chemical assault that's destroying bees and
threatening our food supply. [ [link removed] ]Are you with us?

[ [link removed] ]Rush your tax-deductible gift now and it will be TRIPLE matched to have
three times the impact up to our $250,000 goal. Join this critical fight
now.

Sincerely,
NRDC

Dear NRDC Activist,

Today is the LAST day to support NRDC's campaign to protect critical bees,
other pollinators, and the future of our food supply — and to have your
gift 3X matched. But our records show you haven't yet donated.

Please check your status below to confirm. [ [link removed] ]And if you haven't given
already, please make a tax-deductible donation today.

[ [link removed] ]This campaign is so urgent that all gifts will be TRIPLE matched up to
our $250,000 goal to protect pollinators, our food supply, and the
environment on all fronts. A gift of $5 or more goes a long way — but only
UNTIL MIDNIGHT!

[ [link removed] ]3X MATCH MY GIFT

Bees and other pollinators are experiencing alarming declines, in large
part due to a deluge of toxic neonic pesticides pushed by giant
agrochemical companies like Bayer. The threats posed by these dangerous
chemicals to pollinators, to the future of our food supply, and to our
health are too worrisome to ignore.

NRDC is mounting a hard-hitting campaign to stop the neonic binge plaguing
our environment, mobilizing massive public pressure on the EPA to ban
bee-killing uses of neonic pesticides, and leaning on the power of the
courts, if necessary, to ensure our pollinators and food supply are
protected.

But your support is desperately needed to help us fight for bee survival —
here's why:

* Acute exposure to neonics can kill bees directly, and chronic exposure
weakens bees, making it harder for them to forage for food, find their
way back to their hives, combat parasites and disease, and survive
winter. [ [link removed] ]Every $5 you pitch in to help is worth $15.
* As pollinator populations have plummeted, neonic sales have soared.
Neonics are now the most heavily used insecticide in the United States
and are applied to 150 million acres of crops or more each year. These
pesticides are even sneaking their way into our own backyards by way
of household garden products and pre-treated garden plants. [ [link removed] ]Triple
your impact now — even $5 helps.
* Neonics have made American agriculture 48-times more harmful to bees
and other insects since they were introduced. A recent study found
that healthy favorites — like apples, cherries, and blueberries — were
"pollinator-limited," meaning fewer pollinators leads to lower crop
yields. [ [link removed] ]Fight back with a tax-deductible donation today and it will
be matched 3X.
* Emerging evidence links neonic exposure to neurological damage and
malformations of the developing heart and brain. And scientists have
found that children 3-5 years old are exposed to the toxic pesticide
at higher concentrations than adults. [ [link removed] ]All gifts are matched — but
only until midnight!

Not only are these chemicals extremely toxic to bees and other pollinating
insects, but they also spread easily and can persist in the environment
for years. And with roughly half the U.S. population exposed to at least
one neonic chemical on a regular basis, the risks are too great for us to
do nothing.

But our
strength — in the courtroom, in the halls of Washington, and in
communities across the country — comes from you.

[ [link removed] ]Please make your all-important donation and help us reach our $250,000
goal. It will be 3X matched to help us hold the EPA and Big Ag accountable
— in and out of court — and protect pollinators, our food supply, and our
environment. Hurry, this matching gift opportunity ends at MIDNIGHT
TONIGHT!
