Bees need our help -- last year was one of the worst years ever for bee deaths and we know one of the biggest causes: neonic pesticides.
SumOfUs members like your have been working for years to get these deadly pesticides banned and last year we finally got some government action. The Feds announced a ban of the three biggest neonics -- but not for 3 to 5 years! And if we don’t act immediately it might be too little, too late.
Monday is International Bee Day, a perfect time to ramp up the pressure by flooding Trudeau’s inbox with messages calling on an immediate ban to neonic pesticides now.
We've set up this easy-to-use tool that will send a message directly to Prime Minister Trudeau and key decision makers in the Federal government. It only takes a minute. It's way more impactful if you write your own message. Here's a few key talking points:
- Bees need our help now, they can't wait 3-5 years for the ban to come into place
- The science is clear that neonic pesticides hurt bees -- we can't continue to ignore the science
- International Bee Day is the perfect time to act for the bees
- Canadians want action and the petition of 460,000 signatures we delivered proves that
