Your Signature is Needed: Tell the EPA – no more bee-killing pesticides

SIGNATURES MISSING: 1,216 more names needed from your area to help SAVE BEES! The EPA is prepared to re-approve bee-killing neonic pesticides for another 15 years, Friend. But many wild pollinator populations are RAPIDLY CRASHING, and these toxic pesticides hold a large portion of the blame. It’s hard to overstate just how important pollinators are. Without them, ecosystems could collapse, nutritious nuts, fruits, and veggies could dwindle from store shelves, tens of thousands of plant species could die. Think for a moment – what would that really mean for the world? Neonics are pushing vulnerable wild bees closer to EXTINCTION every minute the EPA refuses to ban these toxic pesticides. [Please, Friend, take just 30 seconds to help STOP the EPA from approving bee-killing pesticides for 15 more years! Pollinators are counting on you. >>]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Neonics can hurt people, too. They’re often found on the food we eat and cannot be washed off. Exposure to neonics has been linked to birth defects of the heart and brain and hormone disruption! Here’s the bottom line, Friend: the EPA has a choice. It can continue to allow the acceleration of the pollinator crisis, sending our insect friends closer to extinction. Or it can ban neonics and protect you, me, and the bees from these toxic pesticides. Help it make the right decision!
