URGENT ACTION NEEDED: The EPA wants to APPROVE bee-killing pesticides for the next 15 years! Neonics, the most widely used insecticides in the world, are a leading driver of the devastating decline in wild bee populations. Over the last two decades alone, we've lost 87% of the Rusty-Patched Bumblebee, 89% of the American Bumblebee, and 93% of the Western Bumblebee. Make no mistake: If the EPA moves forward with their current plans to APPROVE these bee-killing pesticides for another 15 years, several species of bees and other critical pollinators could go EXTINCT. Please, Friend, take urgent action now and tell the EPA to BAN bee-toxic pesticides before it's too late >> Bees and other pollinators are responsible for 75% of our most nutritious food crops like fruits, veggies, and nuts. In fact, we rely on them for 1 out of 3 bites of food that we eat. Sadly, scientists have identified 40% of insect pollinators as currently under THREAT OF EXTINCTION, which could have disastrous consequences for our ecosystems and food supply. The EU has already taken steps to prohibit some of the worst neonics, but here in the states, the EPA is still poised to approve these bee-killing pesticides for another 15 years. Will you sign your name right now to demand that the EPA prioritizes pollinators and public health above Big Ag profits? Thanks for taking urgent action to save bees and other pollinators.
