Protect Pollinators From Pesticides
-
neonicotinoids (neonics) are a driving factor in pollinator decline
-
Farmers who transition away from using neonicotinoid pesticides should be supported for their pollinator-friendly farming practices. The state of Minnesota can create initiatives that support farmers to make this move
-
Repeal the Minnesota "preemption" law that prevents local governments from passing pesticide policies that are stricter than state law
-
When pesticides are applied, they do not stay where they are put: they usually end up contaminating our air, water, crops or beehives
The best thing that anybody can do is conntact your states decision makers
