One seed can kill 80,000 bees

Unregulated pesticide-coated seeds are quietly decimating our bees, birds, and butterflies. Just one GMO corn seed coated with neonicotinoid pesticides contains enough pesticide to kill over 80,000 bees!

Pesticide giants like Monsanto have been selling these deadly seeds with no safety testing or regulation for decades. Now, almost half of all U.S. farmland is planted with pesticide-coated seeds.

That's why Center for Food Safety is fighting in court to demand these pesticide-coated seeds be regulated. Now, if enough of us join, we can overwhelm them with a public call to stop these poisonous seeds from killing more pollinators. Can you add your name now?

Who's signing

Petition to EPA:

I am writing to you as an individual concerned with your agency's lack of regulation surrounding neonicotinoid pesticide coated seeds. Seeds coated with neonicotinoids travel up a plant's circulatory system as it grows, into the leaves, pollen, and nectar. Then pollinators ingest the poison, impacting their central nervous systems and causing paralysis or even death. And the vast majority of the pesticide coating comes off the seed after planting, contaminating our soil, wildflowers, and water.

EPA refuses to evaluate and regulate these pesticide-coated seeds as they would any other pesticide, instead exempting these seeds from rigorous environmental review.

In support of pollinators and the environment, I urge EPA to regulate pesticide coated seeds as pesticides and review the impact of these seeds on pollinators and the environment.

Thank you for your attention to this critical issue,
