Bayer is suing the European Commission to overturn a ban on pesticides that are killing millions of bees around the world

Friends,

Wow. Bayer has just sued the European Commission to overturn a ban on the pesticides that are killing millions of bees around the world. A huge public push won this landmark ban only months ago -- and we can't sit back and let Big Pesticide overturn it while the bees vanish.

Just last month, 37 million bees were discovered dead on a single Canadian farm. And unless we act now, the bees will keep dying by the millions. We have to show Bayer now that we won't tolerate it putting its profits ahead of our planet's health. If this giant corporation manages to bully Europe into submission, it would spell disaster for the bees.

Please join me in signing the petition to tell Bayer and Syngenta to drop their bee-killing lawsuit now. http://action.sumofus.org/a/bayer-bees-lawsuit/?sub=taf 

Thank you.
