Save the Dutch bees
Silently, billions of bees are dying off and our entire food chain is in danger. But in days Secretary of State Sharon Dijksma could move to ban the toxic pesticides that are killing them off. If she hears directly from enough of us now, she could be pushed to become a champion for nature and ban these chemicals before the growing season starts.

Use the box on the right to send a direct message to the Secretary of State. It’s better if you use your own words, but here are some ideas on what you can say to her:

- Parliament has already voted to ban these pesticides, so I urge you to show leadership and implement the ban immediately
- Neonicotinoid pesticides have been linked to bee death, and declining bird populations - it’s time to act
- According to a new poll, three out of four Dutch people want these chemicals banned, and the legal path is cleared up.
- There’s no reason to delay. Spring is nearly here - I call on you to protect our bees before pollination begins
