Dear Thomas,
Breaking news: A massive pesticide company has just asked the U.S. government to increase the legal limit for its bee-killing pesticides by 4000%.
That’s right. Four. Thousand. Percent.
Bees are already facing a massive global die-off. This could be a death sentence for millions more bees.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is accepting public input on the decision for the next 27 days. So we're urgently working to organize beekeepers and the public to speak out against this devastating bee-killing proposal -- and we need your help.
