*[Enwl-eng] Bee-saving ban destroyed

[ENWL]

                        BREAKING: Bee-killing pesticides are making a 
come-back in France. Bayer’s cashed-up lobbyists just persuaded Macron to 
overturn the neonics ban you helped win in France.

                        You can rescue this bee-saving ban -- but we need to 
move right now. Can you chip in $2 for an emergency campaign to save the 
bees?

            The French government just destroyed your historic ban on 
bee-killing pesticides.

            SumOfUs members like you fought tirelessly for this ban --  
forcing France to become the first country ever to ban ALL neonics.

            But today France's President Emmanuel Macron ripped that ban to 
shreds. He’s caved to the pesticide industry, and passed a law that will let 
industrial farms douse field after field with bee-killing poison -- until 
2023.

            It’s a death sentence for already struggling bees -- and a slap 
in the face for bee-defenders around the world fighting for their own 
national neonic bans.

            We still have time to stop Macron. That means going head to head 
with Bayer and its army of ruthless lobbyists. They’re working round the 
clock to keep Macron on side -- so we need to scale up now and fast.

            Your donation today will launch an emergency campaign and pay 
for polling, ads, billboards and grassroots events to convince Macron to 
save the bees, not Bayer’s profits. We’ve got a fighting chance, but we need 
to get cracking now.

            We’re in a worldwide fight to save bees from toxic pesticides. 
These poisons have proven to be a leading cause of death of whole bee 
colonies. The latest research shows that bees exposed to these pesticides 
fly only a third of the distance that unexposed bees can.

            But when hundreds of thousands of SumOfUs members like you came 
together to demand bans on these pesticides, you won.

            Your victory in France was historic, and it set the stage for 
the rest of the world to join and save the bees everywhere. We can’t let 
Bayer’s crew take that away.

            Bayer and co’s cashed-up lobbyists are hoping bee-defenders are 
too weary from the pandemic to stand up to them anymore. But they’re 
forgetting the real magic of SumOfUs members: just a few coins from people 
like you around the world could be enough to break Bayer’s stranglehold on 
Macron -- and give the bees a fighting chance.

            We don’t have a moment to lose. To truly pull off this emergency 
campaign we'll need to give it our all, without worrying about the money in 
the bank. Please, can you chip in today to rescue your bee-saving ban?
