Hi,
Threats to pollinators come from every corner.
Pesticides infect bees and their hives, weakening the entire
ecosystem. The extreme weather of climate change disrupts timing of
plant flowering and the pollinator migration patterns. Agribusiness is
destroying vital pollinator habitats.
Tomorrow, the U.S. recognizes National Honey Bee Day. This
provides us with an opportunity to take urgent action and fight for
pollinators' very existence. Our apian friends are in danger
and their possible extinction threatens our way of life.
Tell Congress today: Support the Saving America’s
Pollinators Act.
H.R. 40791 establishes a pollinator protection board to
monitor the status of native pollinator populations, and suspends the
use of neonicotinoids and other pesticides harmful to pollinators. The
proposed Act also establishes a monitoring network that ensures
experts and the general public have up-to-date information on the
status of native bee populations.
Pollinators are a keystone species. They keep our
food system and entire ecosystems intact. Without them, the world
would be a different place.
Stand up for our planet by demanding our
representatives support the Saving America's Pollinator
Act.
Together,
Kathleen Rogers President
