Real bad news if you're a bee: the new head of the EPA doesn't think pesticides are harmless. That's also very bad news for you and me.
Please, will you chip in to fight back against this outrageous denial of science?
Imagine if someone kept piling up documents on your desk with non-stop evidence about a chemical killing off our best pollinators.
You'd want to do something about that, right? Something other than throwing those documents in the garbage because you didn't agree with them – surely.
Well guess what – Myron Ebell, Trump's climate-denying EPA pick, believes pesticides are harmless, in spite of all the scientific evidence.
I wish I could say I was surprised.
But you and I need to step up more than ever before to launch the biggest fightback to this science-denying madness.
Could you chip in to help save the bees?
Even before Trump, we saw huge attacks on bee science. Thankfully, SumOfUs members were there to back up Jonathan Lundgren, whose whole career is under attack from a relentless assault on his research.
But should Myron Ebell have his way – well, it won't be pretty.
There is hope, though. We can stop the nightmare merger between Bayer and Monsanto by focusing our efforts in Europe to get the deal stopped. We can keep getting the biggest retailers in the United States to commit to banning neonic pesticides from their shelves. And we can keep supporting scientists like Jonathan, who will under more pressure than ever to stop their vital research.
You have the power to stage the fightback of a lifetime.
