BEE ALERT! Urgent- See Petition Below

Posted on April 25, 2018April 25, 2018 by ellen sue spicer

This email just came to me and I am sharing it with everyone because the bees are facing extinction from the use of deadly Neonicotinoids.

(This message will bleed into the right hand margin of my Home Page. This is also my second posting in one day, because I forgot to post the link to my article in Next Avenue  when it appeared yesterday in www.nextavenue.org.  But this is so important, I did not want to delay, so today you have a double posting.)

Dear friends,

Right now, across the world billions of bees are dying. But, in 48 hours the EU could TOTALLY BAN toxic bee-killing pesticides!

Top scientists and farmers’ unions are calling for a ban, the European public massively supports it, and France, the UK, Germany and 9 other countries are in favour. But we need four more countries on board to win the vote on Friday. If Europe moves — we can get the whole world to follow.

This is down to the wire and every signature counts — sign now with one click and share this everywhere today:

Click to ban the bee-killers!

To EU member states, and all world leaders and agriculture ministers:

“We call on you to immediately ban the use of neonicotinoid pesticides. The catastrophic demise of bee colonies could put our whole food chain in danger. If you act urgently with precaution now, we could save bees from extinction.”

The US and Europe are seeing bees die out at a terrifying rate. And because they pollinate our crops, our whole food chain is under threat!

But big chemical companies that sell pesticides are lobbying the EU to delay.  So Avaazers across Europe are frantically calling their Ministers, running ads, and building the pressure.

Now, we need to make this the biggest public petition ever for the bees. Join now with one click and tell everyone:

Click to ban the bee-killers!

The Avaaz community has led the charge to ban neonicotinoids, for years. Now we’re days away from getting this poison banned for good in Europe — let’s build a swarm of hope for our bees.

With hope,
Alice, Antonia, Lisa, Nick, and the whole Avaaz team
