Tell your senators: Support a ban on bee-killing pesticides

Bees are vital pollinators: They play an indispensable role in the health of ecosystems and our food supply. Losing them would have a devastating effect on the natural world and the health of some of our most important crops.

But here in the U.S., pesticides are already wiping out bee colonies from coast to coast. Specifically, the widespread use of a class of pesticides called neonicotinoids (neonics, for short) has been one of the key drivers of colony collapse in recent years.

A new bill, the Protect America's Children from Toxic Pesticides Act of 2020, would follow the lead of Canada and the European Union by banning neonics, along with other pesticides shown to threaten the health of kids and farmworkers. Tell your senators to support it today.
