Dear NRDC Activist,

Bees are disappearing at an alarming rate.

The culprit: scientists continue to point a finger at
incredibly potent pesticides called neonicotinoids or "neonics".
Even small levels of exposure to neonics impair bees' flight
ability, brain development, reproduction, and capacity to fight
off lethal parasites.

And with the collapse of bee populations, food we rely on
pollinators to produce — like apples, cherries, and blueberries —
could become luxury items fewer families can afford.

We're fighting to save bees and other critical pollinators
from extinction, but we must meet our $400,000 goal by December
31st to help fund this critical work.

3x MATCH: Donate $5 now and TRIPLE your impact, up to
$400,000, to help NRDC fight in and out of court to save
pollinators from extinction — and defend our environmental future
on all fronts. ( [link removed]

Despite being extremely deadly to bees, neonic-treated corn
and soybean seeds are still widely used, even though they don't
improve profits for farmers.

Just how deadly are these pesticides? Treating only one
square foot of lawn with neonics contains enough active
ingredients to kill more than one million bees.

We must put an end to bee-killing neonic uses before it's
too late. Your TRIPLE-MATCHED gift of $5 will make 3x the impact
to help save bees, butterflies, and other pollinators,
including... ( [link removed]

* 3x the power to push states to ban the use of neonics ( [link removed]
String Encrypted value]&gs=[Gift String Encrypted value] ) on
lawns and ornamental plants, like the law passed earlier this
year in New Jersey that sets a new standard for others to follow;
* 3x the legal strength to win in courts ( [link removed]
String Encrypted value]&gs=[Gift String Encrypted value] ) to
compel the U.S. government to protect endangered wild pollinators
like the rusty patched bumblebee;
* 3x the resources for NRDC staff scientists ( [link removed]
String Encrypted value]&gs=[Gift String Encrypted value] ), who
are working to uncover new findings about these pesticides in
order to save pollinators and insects from neonics;
* 3x the pressure against the Big Ag corporations ( [link removed]
String Encrypted value]&gs=[Gift String Encrypted value] ) that
are selling misinformation about neonics so that they can reap
bigger profits at the expense of the web of life;

Your help couldn't come soon enough. Beekeepers have lost
up to 50% of their honeybee colonies every year over the last
decade.

Help make sure that 2023 is the year we save pollinators
like bees, butterflies, and birds that play critical roles in our
food supply.

Donate now and we'll TRIPLE your
gift of $5 to bolster our campaign to save bees and our future,
up to $400,000. ( [link removed]

Thanks in advance for your year-end gift, and for
supporting the future of bees and other critical pollinators.
