Clothianidin EPA comments close Tuesday

Dear Friend,

Since 2006, U.S. honey bee populations have been in precipitous decline,
with some estimates suggesting losses as high as 30% per year. While
that's terrible, the problem is far greater than just the loss of a
species. Without bees, our food supply is in serious danger. Pollination
by honey bees is key in cultivating the crops that produce a full
one-third of our food.

A leaked memo suggests the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has
ignored the science linking the pesticide clothianidin to the bee die-off.

Now the EPA is considering whether to renew approval of clothianidin.
Submit a comment asking EPA to reject this dangers chemical that is
killing honey bees - hurry, the comment period closes on Tuesday:

"Last year, CREDO delivered more than 200,000 petition signatures urging the EPA to ban clothianidin. Now that its approval is up for review, this is a crucial opportunity to protect bees.

Tell the EPA: Cancel the approval of clothianidin. Submit a comment now."

The EPA is about to respond, but if the agency doesn't actually act, it likely won't review Clothianidin again until 2018 — and by then it could be too late for the bees.
