Dear Agnes,

Today we're going to court for the bees!

Despite massive bee die-offs, as recently as June 13 California expanded
the use of highly toxic bee-killing pesticides.

This indifference to bees is disastrous--but with your help, we're
fighting back.

Give now to help us see this and other battles through, and your gift will
be matched $1-for-$1 by members of Earthjustice's Board of Trustees:

Bees play a critical role in our food system. Nearly one-third of our
crops--including many vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds--depend on bees
for pollination.

But across America, bee colonies are collapsing, and scientists are
pointing to toxic pesticides as a cause.

My team is fighting in court to stop the approval of toxic bee-killing
pesticides, but we are up against powerful corporate interests and we need
your help: http://action.earthjustice.org/site/R?i=QPr6c-9ClY6KxFnFTEC3Jw

Your contribution, matched $1-for-$1 today, will be put to use immediately
to save bees, protect the natural world, and fight in court to stop the
approval of such bee-killing pesticides as:

*  Mitsui Chemical Agro's "Dinotefuran 20SG" which contains dinotefuran, a
powerful bee-killing neonicotinoid pesticide
*  Valent U.S.A. Corporation's "Venom Insecticide" shown to be highly
toxic to bees
*  Dow AgriScience's sulfoxaflor, which contributes to bee colony collapse
disorder

Will you help us win?

As the lead attorney on many of these cases, I will not sit back and let
toxic pesticides kill bees and threaten to unravel agricultural production
nationwide, all for the sake of short-term private profit.

A world without bees is unimaginable. But with your support--matched
$1-for-$1 today--we won't let it happen:

Thank you for all that you do,

Greg Loarie
Staff Attorney

P.S. We're going to court to save bees! Help us see this and other
emergency battles through, and your gift by midnight July 15 will be
matched $1-for-$1:
