Deadline for responses: 11:â59 p.m. Friend, pesticide corporations want you to ignore their devastating impact on our planet. But nearly 50% of U.S. honeybee colonies PERISHED in 2022, and neonics are largely to blame. Frantic beekeepers worked tirelessly to help their colonies survive, but the massive bee DIE-OFFS wonât stop unless we take action. Hereâs the problem: Neonics are the most widely used insecticides in the entire world. Theyâre NEUROTOXIC to our precious bees and wreak havoc on our ecosystems â contaminating our soil and water. But our farming system still uses MILLIONS of pounds of these chemicals every single year! The pesticide industryâs chokehold on our farming system is so strong that even the seeds of our major crops are coated with neonics. Itâs worse than you think, friend. Studies show little to no benefit for neonic seed coatings. Yet, they're putting the future of our food system and our health at risk! Communities worldwide could pay the price if fruits, nuts and vegetables become more scarce and expensive. But chemical companies have a powerful lobby fighting to hide the truth and allow them to keep control. Theyâre spending MILLIONS on targeted misinformation campaigns to deceive farmers and consumers and downplay the fact that neonics POISON our bees! Even more, ecological farming solutions already exist that could protect pollinators and our planet. But the pesticide lobby is working to suppress the urgent bee-saving solutions we need! We MUST fight back to get neonics OUT of our farm fields and protect our pollinators, our communities and our planet before itâs too late. We urgently need 22 more activists from your area to speak out before 11:â59 p.m. tonâight â but we're still missing your response!
