Dear NRDC Activist,
This is big: a federal court just gave us the green light for a lawsuit
against Trump's EPA that aims to restrict toxic neonic pesticides that are
killing bees and endangering wildlife.
Now the real courtroom battle begins. I am asking for your immediate help
so that NRDC can go all out to fight and win this case in defense of
America's embattled bees. [ [link removed] ]Support our campaign — both in and out of
court — with a gift today to stop these toxic bee-killing pesticides,
protect our pollinators, and defend our environment on all fronts.
There's no time to lose. Last year saw the largest winter losses of
pollinating honeybees on record. That's potentially disastrous because one
out of three bites of food — including fruits, vegetables, and nuts — are
pollinated by bees and other insects.
Neonic pesticides are a leading cause of the bee die-off crisis, and NRDC
is amassing a groundswell of public pressure on agrichemical giant
Bayer-Monsanto — the largest producer of these bee-killing poisons.
But we must also stop the Trump EPA from recklessly approving new neonics
and force it to restrict the use of dozens of bee-killing neonic products
already on the market. That's why our action in federal court is so
crucially important, and why we need your support right away:

escalate our all-out campaign to stop this toxic onslaught, save our
struggling pollinators, and defend our environment on all fronts with a
donation today.

Honeybees aren't the only critical pollinator experiencing a devastating
population decline — this year brought bad news for struggling monarch
butterflies too, as the number of western monarchs overwintering in
California plunged… by a catastrophic 90 percent!
And recently, the United Nations issued bombshell assessments of our
planet's vanishing biodiversity, warning of the risk of extinction faced
by one million species due to human impact and of the grave danger of
losing more pollinators.
This is a warning from nature itself, and we need only look at our
pollinators as the harbingers of a grim future — unless we act now.
The vast majority of the world's most nutritious and delicious food crops
like fruits, vegetables and nuts rely in part on pollination by bees and
other insects and animals. If we do nothing, the damage to biodiversity —
and our food supply — in our lifetimes may never be undone.
[ [link removed] ]Please donate to help NRDC go to court to stop the eradication of our
pollinators and the damage to our biodiversity.
Trump's anti-environmental agenda is putting the profits of Big Ag over
the survival of critically important pollinators. But while this
administration may not care about bees and butterflies, we do. And I know
you do too.
NRDC is leading the charge to save bees and monarch butterflies from this
chemical assault with hard-hitting legal action and public mobilization.
[ [link removed] ]Support our fight to protect our
pollinators in and out of the courtroom with a donation before the October
4th deadline.
Thanks in advance for your support. A world without bees or butterflies
would be devastating to our environment. But together, we can turn the
tide before it's too late.
Sincerely,
Lucas Rhoads
Attorney, Pollinator Initiative, NRDC
Donations will be used to fight back against Trump’s assault on our
pollinators, the spread of toxic bee-killing pesticides, and for other
campaigns that allow NRDC to protect the environment in the most effective
way possible.
The mission of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) is to
safeguard the Earth: its people, its plants and animals, and the natural
systems on which all life depends.
