The UK government just lifted the ban on bee-killing pesticides -- this could be a death sentence for our bees!

But this isn't over yet -- the government is doing a public consultation on the issue. With online ads we can get thousands of bee-lovers to flood the consultation before it's too late for the bees.

Can you chip in CA$90 to save the bees?

A,

Bee-killers are making a come-back in the UK: A few days ago the Conservative government decided to lift the ban on bee-killing pesticides.

But we can stop this, A.

The government just launched a public consultation on pesticides. If we can get tens of thousands of bee-protectors like you to speak out, we can beat this threat to the bees.

But we need to act quickly -- the consultation closes in a few weeks. With your help, we’ll launch online ads to flood the government consultation and save Britain’s bees.

Will you please chip in CA$90 to save the bees?

Until now, the UK government stuck to its promise to protect the ban on bee-killers, because the science is clear: neonic pesticides leach toxins into the environment, and poison bees. But Bayer and the usual Big Pesticide suspects have been lurking in the shadows, lobbying hard to undermine the ban any way they can.

And it looks like Bayer got a huge win this round. These so-called “emergency” exceptions that the UK government has allowed are a notorious slippery slope -- once they start, they just keep happening, and soon toxic neonics will be back in widespread use.

That’s why the government consultation is so important. If the government is drowning in messages from people and communities across the UK demanding to save the bees, it will have to act. And the best way to get lots of people to take part in the consultation, is paying for an online ads blitz.

Together, you and hundreds of thousands of SumOfUs members fought side by side with environmental groups across Europe to get this ban passed. You pushed politicians to do the right thing for people and bees before.

Now is your chance to do it again, A. We don’t have a moment to lose.

Thanks for all that you do,
Yasmin and the SumOfUs team
