BEES

There is a petition campaigning to ban the use of pesticides which have been proved to cause harm to bees. It would be great if you could sign it and help get the message to the European union:

Here is a little more about the petition:

 

Billions of bees are dying worldwide, threatening our crops and food. But in 48 hours the European Union could move to ban the most poisonous pesticides, and pave the way to a global ban that would save bees from extinction.

 

Four EU countries have begun banning these poisons, and some bee populations are already recovering. Days ago the official European food safety watchdog stated for the first time that certain pesticides are fatally harming bees. Now legal experts and European politicians are calling for an immediate ban. But, Bayer and other giant pesticide producers are lobbying hard to keep them on the market.

Love,
