We have over 50,000 signatures, but we need a million. Please help. How much evidence will it take before the EPA, or other companies involved, stop the use, and protect our fragile web of life? We need at least one million signatures to make a significant statement that we don't support unsustainable and harmful farming practices. In 2014, 37 million bees were found dead in Ontario, Canada after neonicotinoid-laced corn seeds were planted in the area. (http://naturalsociety.com/37-million-bees-found-dead-canada-large-gmo-crop-planting/). “Once the corn started to get planted our bees died by the millions,” stated Dave Schuit, a local honey producer. This catastrophe is a powerful sign of the harm these seeds affect on our environment. We should also be concerned about the native bees. There are over “3,999 other bee species living in North America, most of which are solitary, stingless, ground-nesting bees you’ve never heard of. Incredible losses in native bee diversity are already happening. 50 percent of Midwestern native bee species disappeared from their historic ranges in the last 100 years. Four of our bumblebee species declined 96 percent in the last 20 years, and three species are believed to already be extinct. A little part of me despairs when I read in a scientific paper: “This species probably should be listed under the Endangered Species Act if it still exists.” These bees nest in the ground and when the neonicotinoid seeds were planted in the fields, the mason bees did not make one single nest.” - Source of quote: (Source: http://www.wired.com/2015/04/youre-worrying-wrong-bees/) I move that the EPA ban the manufacturing, sale and use of these toxins, poisons and coated seeds in the United States. Don’t you think companies should have a ethical and moral obligation to humanity to stop doing and promoting things that are proven to be harming the environment and humanity? Please join me and help in getting enough signatures to make the statement we need in order to get these poisons banned from manufacturing, sale, planting and use.
