WARNING: HIGHLY-TOXIC and BEE-HARMING pesticide chlorpyrifos is no longer banned! Friends of the Earth members like you fought hard for the EPA to ban chlorpyrifos because of its serious harm to both people and pollinators. This toxic chemical has severe consequences for children's developing brains and is highly toxic to bees! The ban was a real victory for both people and pollinators. But now, a federal court has overturned the ban on chlorpyrifos. The EPA has the power to reinstate this ban – but we need your immediate action before use of this toxic pesticide becomes too widespread! Friend, tell the EPA to immediately reinstate the ban on the highly-toxic pesticide chlorpyrifos With the ban overturned, chlorpyrifos could be used in food production again, and maybe even end up on your plate! This is especially bad for children. Chlorpyrifos exposure in infants in utero and children has been linked to reduced IQ, memory loss, and attention deficit disorders! We rely on pollinators for 1 in every 3 bites of food we eat! Without the EPA reinstating this ban, chlorpyrifos will begin harming bees once again – and that threatens our food system. For both people and pollinators, the EPA needs to reinstate the ban on chlorpyrifos! Please, Friend, will you help his hit our midnight goal of 3,918 more signatures? Sign now to protect children and bees! Standing with you,
