Your Signature is Needed: EPA to approve BEE-KILLING pesticides

URGENT ACTION NEEDED: The EPA is set to approve BEE-KILLING pesticides for the next 15 years! Over the last two decades, the beloved Western Bumblebee population has dropped 93%! In the same time period, neonic pesticides have made U.S. agriculture nearly 48x MORE TOXIC to bees. If they are approved for another 15 years, neonic pesticides will continue to drive wild bees toward EXTINCTION. This would have ripple effects throughout our ecosystems. That’s why we need you to act now! [Friend, will you urge the EPA to immediately BAN neonics and save bees by 11:59pm TONIGHT? >>]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Bees and other pollinators provide 1 of every 3 bites of food that we eat -- like many fruits, veggies, and nuts. Tens of thousands of plant species depend on pollinators for their survival -- which means those plants also depend on you to help protect bees and other pollinators. Widespread use of neonics is making the pollen and nectar that bees need toxic. Many wild bee populations are dwindling and could vanish forever. Meanwhile, the EPA is poised to let neonics wreak havoc for another 15 years. [If just 1 of every 9 people reading this email takes action, we can help push the EPA to BAN neonics before wild bees and other critical pollinators go extinct forever!
