NRDC Activist,

An unrelenting torrent of poisonous bee-killing pesticides called
neonicotinoids — or "neonics" — is a leading cause of the alarming decline
of America's bees. This is disastrous.

One out of three bites of food we eat — including fruits, vegetables, and
nuts — are pollinated by bees and other insects. But big agrichemical
giants are pushing more of these toxic products, while Trump's EPA
continues to approve their use, further poisoning our bees and our food.

NRDC is fighting back. A recent court ruling has allowed NRDC to proceed
with a critical lawsuit against the EPA — a lawsuit that aims to restrict
the toxic neonic pesticides that are killing bees! That's not all: we're
building massive public opposition to the largest manufacturer of these
toxic chemicals — Bayer-Monsanto — and we need you to join in:

[ [link removed] ]While we take on the EPA in court, we
need your powerful voice to help us build a groundswell of public pressure
against Bayer-Monsanto: Send a message to the company's CEO demanding that
Bayer-Monsanto stop selling its poisonous products that are killing our
critical pollinators.

America's bee crisis is getting worse. Beekeepers recently reported the
largest recorded winter losses of pollinating honeybees ever — nearly 40
percent — and a large part of the blame can be placed on a catastrophic
flood of highly toxic neonics.

Studies show that neonics sicken and kill bees. And these pesticides made
by Bayer-Monsanto are so toxic that, even in minute doses, they weaken the
immune and navigation systems of bees, as well as their stamina and memory
— making them less likely to survive.

right now!

Reckless use of these poisons
threatens our food supply — and possibly even our health. Neonic residues
are found in 86% of our honey, as well as on apples, cherries,
strawberries, and can even be found in baby food. Federally-funded
research suggests that exposure to neonics in the womb and by children
could increase the risk of developmental defects, autism, heart
deformations, memory loss, and muscle tremors.

But Trump's EPA continues to coddle big chemical companies like
Bayer-Monsanto and is ignoring critical information about honeybee losses.
So, we're fighting back on multiple fronts.

As NRDC fights Trump's EPA and neonics in court, we need your help to
build public pressure on Bayer-Monsanto. [ [link removed] ]Sign our petition to Werner
Baumann, Bayer-Monsanto's CEO: Tell him the American people won't stand by
as our bees continue to die — and urge him to get bee-toxic neonics off
the market.

Thanks for doing your part to protect our bees,

NRDC
