Dear John,

Rush your comment to the EPA. Don’t let it approve another bee-toxic pesticide.

Many pollinators are already on the brink of extinction. Now, Bayer is pushing the EPA to register a new pesticide that is highly toxic to honeybees and bumble bees -- tetraniliprole. Take action to demand the EPA stop this pesticide in its tracks.
We are already seeing the impact of bee declines on food production. Crops like blueberries, cherries, and apples all suffer from the lack of bees.
But Bayer is still trying to push through another bee-toxic pesticide! We need your help, John, to demand the EPA stop another pesticide from killing bees.
Take Action: Stop Bayer’s new bee-killing pesticide.
One in every three bites of food we eat depends on bees and other pollinators. But their populations have plummeted -- largely due to rampant pesticide use. While these vital creatures help sustain life on Earth, pesticides threaten their existence.
Research shows that pesticides are harmful to bee populations -- yet the pesticide industry continues to add new toxic products to the market.
But we know that with people power, we can fight harder. Will you tell the EPA to not approve the toxic pesticide tetraniliprole?
Tell the EPA to put the bees and our food system ahead of the pesticide industry!
The EPA is currently seeking public input on tetraniliprole. This is your chance to stop this toxic pesticide before it even hits the market.
But the EPA won’t listen unless thousands of concerned Americans demand that it reject this pesticide. Bees and pollinators can’t wait. We need your help to stop this approval now.
20,000 signatures are still needed: Tell the EPA to protect our pollinators!
Thank you for taking action to protect our pollinators,
Jason Davidson,
