Tell Bayer-Monsanto: Stop producing butterfly-harming pesticides!

These beautiful butterflies used to flourish in our backyards and communities. But widespread use of the toxic weedkiller Roundup has contributed to the destruction of this iconic insect’s breeding habitat and the only food source for their young: milkweed.

The significant loss of milkweed plants is a driving factor in the rapidly plummeting monarch population, which has already declined over 90% in the last 20 years.

We must DEMAND that Bayer-Monsanto STOP selling this pesticide that is hurting monarch butterflies and driving them closer to extinction RIGHT NOW — before we lose this precious pollinator forever!

Dear Bayer-Monsanto,

Many species of pollinators are on the brink of extinction. A key driver of their decline is the toxic pesticides your company manufactures, including neonicotinoids and glyphosate.

When bees are exposed to neonicotinoids, they can be killed directly, and their ability to forage, navigate, fight off pests and disease, and reproduce can be impaired. Glyphosate has decimated milkweed, the only food source for monarch butterfly offspring. The EPA has determined that glyphosate is likely to injure or kill 93% of the plants and animals protected under the Endangered Species Act.

Pollinators are vital to many ecosystems. Without bees and other pollinators, over 180,000 species of plants would not thrive, including many that provide food and natural resources for humans. In fact, one in three bites of food requires pollination.

I am urging Bayer-Monsanto to take responsibility for the toxic impacts of its products and immediately STOP selling neonicotinoids, glyphosate and other pesticides that pose risks to our pollinators.

Sincerely,
