*[Enwl-eng] Almond milk is killing bees

[ENWL]

            Have you seen this? Our thirst for almond milk is literally killing our bees.

            There’s an easy way to stop this -- get almond farmers to ditch toxic bee-killing pesticides. We have a plan to do exactly that, but we can’t do it without you.

            Can you chip in to protect our bees?

                        Almond milk sales are soaring — and our bees are paying the price.

                        Most almond farms are a “toxic chemical soup” threatening billions of bees that are shipped in to pollinate the trees.

                        Can you chip in to demand the makers of Alpro, Silk and Almond Breeze use only bee-friendly almonds?

            Almond milk is killing bees, and they need your help. Bee farmers in the US are shipping bees in the billions to vast almond farms in California.


            It’s an incredibly stressful job for the bees in a toxic environment. An expert scientist even said “It’s like sending the bees to war. Many don’t come back.”

            Bees on almond farms feed in a “toxic chemical soup” of pesticides including Bayer-Monsanto’s glyphosate. They end up sick and exhausted, and billions die.

            But Vladimir, we can make almond milk bee-friendly, if we get major almond milk producers to back bees.

            Can you chip in to a campaign fund that will fight for the bees? Your donation will pay for research on almond supply chains, buy ads to alert millions to the almond milk scandal and help us pressure the makers of Alpro, Silk and Almond Breeze by showing up on their doorsteps.

            Yes, I can chip in $1 to save our bees. 

            Almond milk has rocketed in popularity in recent years. Most of the world’s almonds come from California. But there would be no almonds if it weren’t for the billions of bees that are brought to the almond farms every year to pollinate the trees.

            That’s why bee experts have explained exactly how almond farms can create a healthier habitat for bees. And you can make sure every almond farm gets on board.

            To save our bees, we need almond milk manufacturers to buy only bee-friendly almonds. Can you chip in for the research, ads and tactics we’ll need?


            Donating just takes a moment -- use Paypal or your card.

            Yes, I’m in with $1 for the bees. 

            This movement - including you - has done so much to turn things around for the bees already. We’ve gotten bans on bee-killing pesticides in Europe, Canada and beyond. And we’ve gotten shops to pull pesticides from the shelves in many more places, including Australia.

            The bees have no one else to help. It’s up to you and me. And even a small donation will help us turn almond milk from a bee villain to a bee friend. Are you in?
