<P><BIG>Hi,</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>Bees are dying out.</B> Big pesticide producers like Bayer-Monsanto
will do anything to increase their sales and bottom-line, and they are forcing
the hands of farmers. The only way for farmers to succeed in this intensive,
industrial agriculture system is to use <B>pesticides that kill the
bees.</B></BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>We need bees because they pollinate one-third of the food we eat.</B>
Pollination is essential to our lives because our fruits, vegetables, and the
crops that feed livestock require pollination to be fertilised. <B>Without bees,
there would literally be no food!</B> [1] </BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>And we have little time to prevent bee populations from disappearing.
That’s why we’re supporting a European Citizens’ Initiative (ECI)</B> to
radically change our agriculture for the better, restore our ecosystems, and
protect our farmers and bees.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>We’re asking for all pesticides to be phased out.</B> It’s a big ask,
but if more than ONE MILLION of us sign, the EU Commission and our MEPs will be
legally obligated to meet us and address our demands -- and we're nearly
there.</BIG></P>

<P><BIG><B>Intensive agriculture (made possible by synthetic pesticides) has
destroyed the diversity of the Earth’s nature. That diversity is essential for
sustainable agriculture</B> and protecting our climate. Thankfully, nature
recovers quickly when we take decisive action to bring back wildlife and abandon
the use of synthetic pesticides. <B>But we have to act now, before it’s too
late.</B></BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>For decades, billions of euros worth of public and private funds have
been poured into the pockets of pesticide producers.</B> All while those
producers have convinced our politicians to ignore the negative effects
pesticides cause on bees, the environment and on our health. But <B>finally, our
leaders are starting to wake up to our calls because of people’s
mobilisations.</B></BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Following calls from millions of Europeans in 2018, the EU agreed to a
near-total ban on neonicotinoids, a specific kind of pesticide that harms the
central nervous systems of bees. [2] And all of this on the back of a new law
that the EU approved in 2019, increasing transparency throughout the pesticide
approval process! [3]</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>But we can’t just keep banning individual types of pesticides!</B>
Our public resources ought to fund research to allow agriculture to prosper and
bees to thrive, while also rebuilding our dying ecosystems. And to do that, we
need to phase out synthetic pesticides altogether.</BIG></P>

In 2017, our community launched an ECI to ban glyphosate with a large coalition
of partners across Europe. While we didn’t get an EU-wide ban on glyphosate, we
won major changes to the EU transparency of the pesticide approval procedure
which were passed into law earlier this year. For more information about ECIs,
see the EU website here:
