... Together, we’re making progress on bee-harming pesticides
Despite industry pushback, we’re making real progress on bee-harming pesticides.
Your gift to PAN this Giving Tuesday will get us to the finish line!
Dear Paov,
Exactly one year ago, Europe said no to neonics.
Today, these systemic, bee-harming pesticides are no longer allowed in several communities across the U.S., Minnesota officials are considering a phaseout, and President Obama’s Pollinator Health Task Force has been ordered to come up with solutions. This progress is real, but there’s more work to do.
We can’t let up now!» “The “Big 6” pesticide corporations are spending big money to keep their products on the market. Monsanto, Syngenta, Bayer and the rest are now investing millions to block communities and states from taking action on pesticides — and to deflect attention from their bee-harming products. With your gift this Giving Tuesday, we’ll keep them on the defense!
When it comes to neonics, or neonicotinoid pesticides, industry pushback is clear at every level. In Europe, Syngenta and Bayer are challenging the two-year moratorium in court. Here in the U.S., Big 6 lobbyists showed up in force at Pollinator Health Task Force “listening sessions” last month — but thanks to thousands of PAN activists like you, the voices of bee-loving citizens across the country were in the mix too.
Help PAN push back» The science is more clear than ever: neonicotinoid pesticides play a key role in the dramatic losses beekeepers are continuing to see across the country. With your help, we’ll keep shining a light on industry shenanigans — and keep pressing for a thriving, just food system that’s healthier for us all. Donate today!
Thanks so much for all you do.
Warmly,
Judy Hatcher, Executive Director
