URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Monarch butterflies are endangered and under high threat of extinction!
Monarchs are now making their epic 3,000-mile fall migration. No other insect in the world migrates at such a distance over several generations to places it has never been before.
But this legendary journey is threatened -- monarchs are officially ENDANGERED, and these beloved butterflies are getting closer to EXTINCTION with the decline in milkweed, which is vital for them to lay their eggs on and serves as the ONLY food source for monarch caterpillars. One of the key drivers to the drastic disappearance of milkweed plants is the widespread use of Bayer-Monsanto's Roundup. We MUST take urgent action to BAN this butterfly-harming pesticide before it's too late. Will you sign your name right now?
Monarchs don't stand a chance at survival without milkweed. In the last two decades, 850 million milkweed plants have vanished -- and at the same time, we've lost at least 90% of the North American monarch population.
Yet glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, still remains the most widely used herbicide in the world, with 300 million pounds used in the U.S. EVERY YEAR. While milkweed is being wiped out and the monarch population is dropping, Bayer-Monsanto continues to profit. But with your help, we can end the widespread use of this butterfly-harming product. Please, Friend, add your name now to DEMAND that Bayer-Monsanto STOP selling Roundup and help protect monarch butterflies from EXTINCTION >>
Thanks for taking action to save endangered monarchs!
