URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Bees and other pollinators are at risk of extinction -- and a key contributor is widespread use of dangerous pesticides. After a long winter, hungry bumblebees prepare to feed on the pollen and nectar of freshly blooming spring flowers. While many plants might seem appetizing to the innocent bees, many are likely contaminated by BEE-TOXIC PESTICIDES called neonics -- the most widely used insecticides in the world. Neonics are a core contributor to the decline in vulnerable pollinator populations, and these toxic pesticides can stay in our environment for years. Sign your name to BAN these toxic bee-killing pesticides now >> American bumblebee populations have plummeted 89% in the last 20 years. If the decline in bees and other pollinators continues, it will have massive detrimental impacts to our ecosystems. Pollinators like bees are responsible for 75% of our most nutritious food crops like fruits, veggies, and nuts. Over 180,000 species of plants need pollinators to survive. The European Union has already banned the worst neonics, but the EPA continues to put pesticide industry profits above the health of our planet. Please, Friend, take action right away to help protect people and pollinators from these toxic pesticides >> Thanks for taking urgent action.
