Toxic threats

Tell the EPA: Ban neonic-coated seeds

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Michael Regan,

Seeds coated in neonicotinoid pesticides have been shown to be toxic for bees and other pollinators, contribute to health and neurological problems in people, and even reduce crop yields because they kill off the natural predators of the target pests.

Not only does using neonics not make sense, but it’s actively harmful for us, the planet and our food system. There are better, safer ways of growing crops, which is why I am urging the EPA to ban neonic-coated seeds.
