Should the U.S. BAN bee-killing pesticides?
[[link removed]]

Friend,

American bumblebee populations have dropped by 89% and disappeared altogether in eight states, yet Big Ag has continued to dump MILLIONS of pounds of bee-killing neonic pesticides on American farmland each year.

Bee decline isn’t just a problem for the bees – studies have shown that declines in bee populations negatively affect our own food supplies, including the production of apples, blueberries and cherries. As if that weren’t enough, emerging research is showing that neonics may also harm kids’ developing nervous systems and brains. And the CDC has found neonics in 50% of children in the U.S. ages 3 to 5!

The EU has already banned the use of four neonics. But the U.S. is still dragging its feet. Do you think the U.S. should BAN neonics?

We need 2,000 of our top supporters to take our survey before midnight tonight to help us formulate our plans. Your response will help us figure out the best way to protect bees and ban harmful pesticides. If you have just two minutes, please complete this quick survey!
