Today, on World Bee Day, I want to remind you how vital
our bees are to life on this planet -- and just how close we might
be to losing them forever.
These busy pollinators bring us one out of every three bites of
food we eat. And for their hard work, they're poisoned -- by
the toxic pesticides Bayer-Monsanto and co. have forced into our
farming system. The survivors are left open to scary new
threats from the US "murder hornet" to a paralysing virus in the
UK.
Covid-19 is dominating news cycles and political agendas right
now, but behind the scenes, decisions are being made that could save
or doom the bees. More than ever, we need to ramp up our
fight to ban bee-harming pesticides and expose the industry giants
that are poisoning the planet. But we can't do it without
your people power.
That's why I'd like to know what you think. We have
dozens of opportunities to fight for the bees coming up in the next
months, and we don't want to miss the ones that matter most to
you. Can you take 30 seconds to tell us how you want to
save the bees in 2020?
Yes,
I'll take the World Bee Day survey right now!
