More than 5,900 supporters have already weighed in on bee-killing pesticides, but we haven’t heard from you, friend.

We need 2,130 more supporters to weigh in before 11:59 p.m. tonight. Can we count on you to speak up?

TAKE THE SURVEY: Do you think the U.S. should ban neonic pesticides?

Remember, neonics have been linked to a massive decline in bee populations, and emerging research suggests they may also harm migrating birds and white-tailed deer. The EU has already banned these highly toxic pesticides!

Thanks for your feedback, friend.

Bad news, friend.

Neonics, the world’s most widely used class of pesticides, have already been linked to massive declines in bee populations, but now new research suggests these highly toxic pesticides may also harm migrating birds and white-tailed deer.

Scientists in South Dakota found that neonics, short for neonicotinoid, are likely responsible for serious birth defects in white-tailed deer, raising alarms over potential harm to human health.

The EU banned these pesticides last year because of their effect on key pollinators like bees. But the U.S. is still caving to the pesticide industry.

We urgently need to take action on these pesticides to protect our environment and our health! Do you have a minute to help us make our plans?
