<P>The EU’s about to unveil its new proposal to make our agriculture
system healthier for people and the environment. But
<STRONG>something’s wrong with it</STRONG> -- and only you can fix
it.<BR><BR>As part of the European Green Deal, the EU’s “Farm to
Fork” strategy should include <STRONG>ambitious targets for slashing
the use of toxic pesticides -- one of the biggest dangers to bees
and the rest of our natural world. </STRONG>Getting rid of these
poisonous chemicals is the only way to make farming truly green.</P>
<P>But the targets in the current draft are weak, and<STRONG> the
agrochemical industry is reportedly hammering the EU to weaken them
even further. </STRONG>It’s up to us to <STRONG>step in and stop
Bayer, Dow and Syngenta from poisoning our planet past the point of
no return. </STRONG><BR><BR>EU commissioners are accepting feedback
on the proposal right now --<STRONG> giving us a short window
to make them put toxic pesticides on the chopping block.
</STRONG>We’ll put <STRONG>all your signatures and comments
together</STRONG> and submit them directly to the Farm to Fork
committee -- will you add your voice?<BR><BR><U><STRONG><A

the EU to crack down on pesticides for a farm system that benefits
bees, people, and the planet.</A></STRONG></U><BR><BR>Experts have
warned us again and again: <STRONG>only a massive reduction in
pesticides will revive our vanishing insect populations and bring
nature back from the brink of collapse.</STRONG><BR><BR>We and our
friends in the “Save Bees and Farmers” coalition -- a
thousands-strong Europe-wide initiative made up of scientists,
beekeepers, farmers and citizens including SumOfUs members like you
-- are <STRONG>urging the EU to respond by cutting down on 80
percent of toxic pesticide use by 2030, and getting rid of all
synthetic pesticides by 2035.</STRONG></P>
<P>But <STRONG>companies like Bayer, Dow and Syngenta are pushing
back, using every trick in the book to keep their poison
flowing.</STRONG> They want EU politicians to set targets for
pesticide “risk” -- a meaningless measurement that could let
them<STRONG> sell the same amount of chemicals while claiming bees
and people are safer.</STRONG></P>
<P>The commissioners responsible for the plan told us <STRONG>they
want to know what you think. </STRONG>Here’s your chance to
<STRONG>make them set a course for a pesticide-free
Europe!</STRONG></P>

<P><STRONG>We’ve come so far in our fight to keep bees, people and
nature safe from pesticides.</STRONG> Thanks to pressure from
SumOfUs members like you, Europe has passed sweeping bans on
bee-killing neonicotinoids, brain-damaging chlorpyrifos and other
chemicals that posed a danger to bees and humans.</P>
<P>An ambitious green farming plan could be another triumph for
people and the planet, but <STRONG>only if you and I act now to make
it stronger.</STRONG><BR><BR><U><STRONG><A
