Should the EPA BAN bee-killing neonic pesticides?
[[link removed]]

If rapid bee decline wasn’t enough of a reason to ban bee-killing neonic pesticides, now scientists are raising concerns over neonics in kids.

An alarming new study has found neonics in kids, friend!

In 2020, the CDC found neonics in 50% of 3- to 5-year-old kids from 2015 and 2016 samples. This new study confirms that children are still exposed to neonics, which can be found in urine, blood and even fluid that surrounds the brain. This is especially concerning in light of new research that suggests neonics may harm children’s developing brains and nervous systems.

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?

Neonics have also been linked to the rapid decline in bee populations. American bumblebee populations have already dropped by 89 percent and have disappeared entirely in eight states, according to a recent study. Their decline is already affecting production of key food crops, like apples, berries and cherries.

Can you help EWG protect kids and bees from neonics? We need 4,500 of our top supporters to take a quick survey by midnight tonight to help us formulate our plans:
