TAKE ACTION! Save Bees from a Highly Toxic Pesticide

The Environmental Protection Agency is considering expanding the use of a
highly toxic bee-killing pesticide.

Tell the EPA to protect bees and suspend the use of sulfoxaflor now:

Dear Agnes,

Bee populations are plummeting! Yet the Environmental Protection Agency
recently sided with Dow AgroSciences to approve a new, highly toxic
bee-killing pesticide called sulfoxaflor.

And now the EPA is considering expanding the number of crops this
pesticide can be sprayed on to include corn, alfalfa, oats, and several
other significant and widely grown crops.

Will you help us fight back?

Tell the EPA to deny Dow AgroScience's application to expand the
registration of the bee-killing pesticide sulfoxaflor now:

Nearly one-third of our crops--including many vegetables, fruits, nuts,
and seeds--depend on bees for pollination. But bees in our country are
dying at unprecedented rates, and scientists are pointing to pesticides
like sulfoxaflor as a cause.

A world without bees is unimaginable. Earthjustice is doing everything we
can to fight back, using the law and the power of the courts. But we need
your help to stop this latest proposal:

Help us ensure that sulfoxaflor does not become the final straw for bees.

Take action now to save bees:

Thank you for all that you do,

Attorney
