From Friends of the Earth:
"In the last few hours the Environmental Audit Committee (EAC) has told the Government they got it wrong when they chose not to support a ban of the worst bee-harming pesticides.
Please sign our Director's letter if you think the Government should support the ban.
The EAC has spent months hearing evidence on both sides of the argument. And they've concluded that 3 neonicotinoid pesticides should be banned and that Government policy on pesticides should be overhauled.
If enough of us add our names we can persuade the Government to accept the EAC's recommendations - and follow the lead of the DIY stores and garden centres that have already taken some of the most dangerous pesticides off their shelves."
I don't think it is possible to underestimate the importance of bees and the damage already done to them. Now we can start to make it better, but only if we get the Government to act.
