Should the EPA BAN bee-killing pesticides?

This is devastating, friend.

American bumblebee populations have already dropped by 89 percent and have entirely disappeared in eight states, according to a recent study. Their rapid decline is so alarming, the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service is considering adding these key pollinators to the endangered species list!

Yet Big Ag continues to dump millions of pounds of bee-killing neonic pesticides on American farmland each year. This is despite the fact that the most common uses of neonics provide little benefit to farmers!

These dangerous chemicals don’t just affect bees, they may also harm kids’ developing nervous systems and brains. The CDC recently found neonics in 50% of children in the U.S. ages 3 to 5!

The EU has already banned four neonics. We think it’s time for the U.S. to follow suit. Do you think the EPA should ban bee-killing pesticides?

We need 1,500 of our top supporters to weigh in by midnight tonight to help us formulate our plans to protect bees and ban neonics. Do you have two minutes to complete our quick survey?
