[CHICKENS-101] Fw: How many dead bees does it take to make EPA act?

 

 


Tell EPA to step up and protect bees!

On Thursday, March 20th, we'll deliver half a million signatures to Gina McCarthy at EPA headquarters in Washington, D.C. Sign the petition so we can deliver your signature, too!

Honey bees are responsible for producing 1/3 of our food but they are being wiped out by the indiscriminate use of toxic pesticides called neonicotinoids.
  It is the job of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to protect our environment – this includes bees and other pollinators. Right now, EPA is failing to do its job. In fact, EPA won't even finish reviewing the use of these chemicals for another four years!  But bees can't wait another four years, and neither can we.

On Thursday, March 20th, Center for Food Safety and our allies will deliver this petition to Gina McCarthy at EPA headquarters in Washington, D.C. Sign the petition today so we can deliver YOUR signature to Administrator McCarthy!

As head of the agency it will be up to Gina McCarthy to make sure EPA protects bees and other pollinators from toxic pesticides like neonicotinoids.

Help us bring this fight to EPA—sign the petition and help us deliver half a million signatures to Administrator McCarthy!
