URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Toxic pesticides continue to threaten vulnerable bee
populations across the country! Don’t let the EPA approve neonics this year! Take action now >>
[[link removed]]
Neonics are a key contributor to bee populations plummeting across the country
over the last two decades -- like the beloved Western Bumblebee, which has dropped 93% and the American Bumblebee, which has declined by 89%.
Meanwhile, over the same time period, neonics have made agriculture 48 times more toxic to bees. And now, 40% of critical pollinators like bees are at RISK OF EXTINCTION. If these species vanish, it could be CATASTROPHIC for our ecosystems -- but the EPA could soon approve these bee-killing neonics for another 15 years! Bees cannot wait that long, Friend. Will you sign your
name immediately to urge the EPA to BAN neonics right now?

[[link removed]]Wild bees and other pollinators are essential for 1 out of 3 bites of food that we eat. We rely on them for 75% of the most nutritious food crops like fruits, veggies, and nuts -- and over 180,000 species of plants depend on pollinators for survival.
But the widespread use of neonics is making pollen and nectar that bees need TOXIC , and as a result, it’s contributing to dwindling bee populations. And if the EPA approves neonics for the next 15 years, these threatened bees
could vanish forever.
We’re running out of time to pressure the EPA to ban neonics and protect
vulnerable bees from extinction. Add your name NOW to save these precious
pollinators before it’s too late!
