shot at bringing our ailing bees back from the

<P>Just $1 could go a long way towards spreading the

<P><STRONG>Our grassroots coalition of bee defenders needs your
help!</STRONG></P>
<P>Together, <STRONG>we’re gathering one million signatures in a
last-ditch effort to save bees, farmers, and ordinary
people</STRONG> from the toxic consequences of our sick farming
system. To <STRONG>convince the EU to ban all synthetic
pesticides</STRONG> and support farmers in the transition to
healthy, organic agriculture.</P>
<P>But <STRONG> we’re still far short of the support we need in
Russia</STRONG>.</P>
<P><STRONG>You can help turn this into a win.</STRONG> 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?</P>

<P>This European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI) is supported by SumOfUs
along with beekeepers, farmers, scientists, politicians and
environmental organisations <STRONG>fed up with deadly pesticides
choking out our bees and tainting our food.</STRONG></P>
<P>We’ve realised that <STRONG>our generation is the last one that
could bring our natural world back from the edge of
destruction</STRONG> -- and that to do so, we need a radical
transformation of our entire farming system.</P>
<P>We’re not alone. In the one week since we launched, 94,759 people
have signed on. <STRONG>But in order for the EU to hear us out, we
need more -- including in Russia.</STRONG></P>
<P>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.</P>

can you chip in $1 to save bees and farmers?</A></P>
<P>If we collect over a million signatures, the EU has to put our
pesticide ban on its agenda. <STRONG>It may seem like a tall order
-- but you’ve done it before.</STRONG></P>
<P>This was how<STRONG> 3 million of us managed to help derail the
disastrous TTIP trade deal in 2017</STRONG>, and how 1.6 million of
us may soon force the EU to end industrial farms’ cruel practice of
caging animals.</P>
<P>Now, we’re doing it again <STRONG>on behalf of nature lovers in
Russia and across the continent</STRONG> -- just in time to protect
our disappearing bees and fragile ecosystems from total collapse.
<STRONG>Will you help spread the message and give our bee-saving
plan a chance to succeed?</STRONG></P>
