Bees and other pollinators are pivotal to our food system. We rely on them for 75% of the world’s food crops, including the most nutritious. Without bees, we could lose some of the foods that keep us healthy! That’s why this is so urgent: the decline in bees and other pollinators has already harmed global fruit, vegetable, and nut production. Without access to these vital crops and a healthy diet, people could be at higher risk of heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and even cancer, according to a recent study.
But pollinator-killers like Bayer-Monsanto are sweeping their lethal impact under the rug. And the United States EPA is giving them a free pass. They’re allowing widespread use of toxic pesticides instead of shifting away from chemicals we KNOW are killing massive numbers of bees.
At Friends of the Earth Action, we are doing everything we can to help save pollinators, protect our health, and stop the destruction of our planet. We’re working to pass policies that ban toxic pesticides that are driving the decline of bees and butterflies. At the same time, we’re pushing major grocery companies like Kroger to stop selling food grown with these chemicals. With your help and membership support today, we can win. And if you contribute today, your donation will help us reach our $57,000 goal in honor of National Food Day. But we only have until MIDNIGHT tomorrow to reach our goal -- so please, rush your membership contribution now!
Together, we can fight the pesticide industry and protect pollinators, people, and our planet. Donate $15 to Friends of the Earth Action today and your membership gift will help us reach our urgent $57,000 goal in honor of National Food Day. Make your contribution before National Food Day ends and it’s too late for vulnerable pollinators and our planet!
