Inside sources say the EU is planning to re-approve the toxic pesticide thiacloprid. That’s after intense pressure from (you guessed it) Bayer-Monsanto.
This could be horrible news for our bees -- and for humans too. If you’re a farm worker, and your boss tells you to use thiacloprid on crops, you’ll be at risk of organ damage and cancer.
There’s still time to stop the EU from making a horrible mistake -- but only if you and I sound the alarm right now.
We can get the EU to reverse this terrible plan. And together, we’ll do it by showing them that if they re-approve thiacloprid, it will cause a massive political headache.
Can you chip in so to plaster our message all over the homepage of a high-profile EU news website, Politico?
