To US President Barack Obama and head of the US Environmental Protection Agency Gina McCarthy:

We call on you to immediately ban the use of neonicotinoid pesticides until and unless new independent scientific studies prove they are safe. The catastrophic demise of bee colonies is a frightening sign that these chemicals could put humans and our whole food chain in danger. Please act urgently and wisely.

US: Ban the bee-killers
Bees are vanishing. These industrious creatures that bring us 70 of the worlds top 100 foods are collapsing in a rain of toxic pesticides. But finally the US government could take action to ban bee-killing poisons. And we could make this the moment to save the bees!

The US has just opened an official public consultation to consider regulation on a major bee-killing chemical. But so far, agrichemical companies are the loudest voices in the room. A massive call from this community, in partnership with beekeepers, farmers, and scientists, is urgently needed.

Our community is already winning a ban on bee killing toxins in the EU. If we can get a ban in the US, it will have a ripple effect on the rest of the world to get rid of these chemicals and protect our delicate food supply. The US regulatory agency is taking comments this week! Let’s flood them with messages to be the voice that stops the collapse of bees. Click below and tell everyone:
