Global bee emergency -- act now!

[Guest guest]

As Bees do not only make honey, but also pollinate our crops, their survival is

vital for our food supplies. I therefore ask you all to sign the following

petition to ban the pesticides that are killing our bees.

Quietly, globally, billions of bees are dying, threatening our crops and food.

But a global ban of one group of pesticides could save bees from extinction.

Four European countries have begun banning the poisons, and some bee populations

are recovering. But chemical companies are lobbying hard to keep all killer

pesticides on the market. A global outcry now for a ban in the US and EU, where

debate is raging, could provoke a total ban and a ripple effect around the

world.

Let's build a giant global buzz calling for these dangerous chemicals to be

outlawed in the US and EU until and unless they are proved to be safe. Sign the

petition to save bees and our crops and send this to everyone:

I am posting this here, because it is so vital for us all. They need 1 million

votes, and they are already half way there.
