The release of a groundbreaking study on bee-killing pesticides could push the EU to ban neonics once and for all.
Scientists need your help to make these findings public -- so Bayer and Monsanto don’t get their way.
Will you please chip in to help them out?
A,
Leaked documents show we’re closer than ever to a total ban on bee-killing pesticides in Europe. But the EU is under massive pressure from the pesticide lobby to kill the ban.
To get over the line we’re going to need one last push, and we have an idea that could be just the right thing: a groundbreaking study by independent scientists showing how neonics are killing our bees.
But this study hasn’t been released to the public yet. So we’re raising money to help these scientists get the facts out before the EU makes its final decision on the bee-killing pesticides ban.
If you make a donation today we’ll broadcast these findings loud and clear and make sure the European commission listens to us and not Bayer and Monsanto.
Please chip in now to push the EU to banning bee-killing pesticides for good.
Yes, I'll donate to ban bee-killing pesticides now.
Bayer and Monsanto know that they’re in trouble: if the EU bans bee-killing pesticides it will deal a huge blow to their billion dollar corporations.
That’s why they’re doing everything they can to stop this ban from going ahead -- even funding fake science to claim that neonics aren’t harming our bees.
The pesticide lobby may have lots of money, but SumOfUs members have shown that we can pack a punch when we come together.
Hundreds of thousands of you pushed France to become the first country to decide to ban the chemicals responsible for the global bee die-off.
Together, we’ve sent beekeepers to confront Bayer’s corporate executives at its annual shareholder meetings. And we’ve forced big hardware chains across the world to stop selling neonics.
And finally, members like you are doing everything possible to stop the Bayer-Monsanto merger: from speaking out to decision-makers to flooding the internet with ads so approvers can’t miss our message.
Let’s keep it up. Will you help make sure the truth about bee-killing pesticides is told?
Please donate now to push the EU to banning bee-killing pesticides for good.
Yes, I'll donate to make the EU ban bee-killing pesticides for once and for all?
Thanks for all that you do,
Kat and the team at SumOfUs
