National Pollinator Week: June 16–22, 2014
Tell Congress to save America's pollinators.
The Saving America’s Pollinators Act, introduced in 2013, is designed to suspend the use of neonicotinoid pesticides until a full review of the current scientific evidence—and a field test—indicates they are safe.
Unfortunately, the Act has been languishing in committee since last August. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been dragging its feet on the issue, ignoring the mounting evidence and delaying action until 2018.
The bees can’t wait. Tell Congress to stand up for pollinators by contacting your representative today.
