*[Enwl-eng] The race to save the bees («Апокалипсис насекомых»)

[ENWL]

                        The race to save bees and farmers is on!

                        This Europe-wide initiative could be our best shot at bringing our ailing bees back from the brink -- but we need your help to get the signatures we need.

                        Just $1 could go a long way towards spreading the word to all of Russia’s bee lovers. Can you chip in?

                        Donate $1 now
                       
                 
            Our grassroots coalition of bee defenders needs your help!

            Together, we’re gathering one million signatures in a last-ditch effort to save bees, farmers, and ordinary people from the toxic consequences of our sick farming system. To convince the EU to ban all synthetic pesticides and support farmers in the transition to healthy, organic agriculture.

            But  we’re still far short of the support we need in Russia.

            You can help turn this into a win. Just $1 towards targeted ads could gain us valuable signatures, putting us that much closer to a pesticide-free, bee-friendly Europe. Will you chip in now?

            Yes, I’ll chip in $1 to save bees and farmers.

            This European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) is supported by SumOfUs along with beekeepers, farmers, scientists, politicians and environmental organisations fed up with deadly pesticides choking out our bees and tainting our food.

            We’ve realised that our generation is the last one that could bring our natural world back from the edge of destruction -- and that to do so, we need a radical transformation of our entire farming system.

            We’re not alone. In the one week since we launched, 94,759 people have signed on. But in order for the EU to hear us out, we need more -- including in Russia.

            We know millions of Europe’s citizens want to save the bees. All we have to do is reach out to them. But we can’t do that without you.

            Please, can you chip in $1 to save bees and farmers?

            If we collect over a million signatures, the EU has to put our pesticide ban on its agenda. It may seem like a tall order -- but you’ve done it before.

            This was how 3 million of us managed to help derail the disastrous TTIP trade deal in 2017, and how 1.6 million of us may soon force the EU to end industrial farms’ cruel practice of caging animals.

            Now, we’re doing it again on behalf of nature lovers in Russia and across the continent -- just in time to protect our disappearing bees and fragile ecosystems from total collapse. Will you help spread the message and give our bee-saving plan a chance to succeed?

            Yes, I’ll chip in $1 to convince Russia to save bees and farmers.


            Thanks for all that you do, 
            David and the team at SumOfUs
