In just 20 years, the population of what once was one of our most common species of bumblebee has plummeted by 93%, and over 700 types of North American bees are at risk of extinction. Bees are responsible for every 1 in 3 bites of food we eat -- but their populations are being decimated by MILLIONS OF POUNDS of Big Ag’s deadly pesticides.

Without action, a child born today could be part of the last generation to experience many vital bee species.
In fact, since the 1990s, U.S. agriculture has become 48 times more toxic to insect life -- and neonics like those that Bayer-Monsanto produce account for a staggering 92% of the increase in toxicity. Our pollinators don’t stand a chance against this onslaught of toxic pesticides -- unless we act now.
On top of everything else, toxic pesticides have been found in baby food and in our tap water, which is particularly concerning knowing that many pesticides are associated with harm to human health. The damage being done is clear. But pesticide giants like Bayer-Monsanto continue to funnel big money into disinformation efforts -- all to deny and distract from the role that their products play in bee deaths. They have successfully operated this way for years, and our bees, our health, and our planet are facing the consequences. Now is the time to stand up and demand action!
Friends of the Earth is fighting to stop big polluters and save our pollinators, but we are falling short of our end of year fundraising goal.
Thankfully, a generous group of donors is still MATCHING ALL GIFTS up to our $800,000 goal, but only until midnight tomorrow.
Donate now and have your membership gift DOUBLED to save our pollinators and the planet.
