Tell The EPA To Recall New Toxin

The EPA has approved a new pesticide for agricultural use without caring about its effect on plants and animals.

Bicyclopyrone (BCP), the poison in question, utilizes plants existing circulatory system, passing its deadly chemicals straight into pollen and nectar. Combining existing pesticides along with the new herbicide BCP, a new weed killer sold as “Acuron” holds potentially devastating and lethal effects for bees, along with other creatures and plant life. Acuron also contains the toxins Atrazine, Mesotrione, and S-Metolachlor, which are “almost certainly” harming endangered and threatened species, according to the Center for Biological Diversity. The EPA also failed to examine or consider the effects of using all four chemicals together.

Despite the EPA recognizing BCP’s lethal potential towards bees, the agency has allowed this harmful chemical on the market.

Honeybees currently face extinction as their population continues to decline at an unsustainable rate. Colonies cannot endure yet another toxin entering their food source.
When poisoned, honeybees suffer from paralysis, blocked communication, and impaired homing abilities, all of which results in an agonizing death.

The EPA has passed hundreds of harmful pesticides into market without consulting wildlife agencies, a requirement outlined in the Endangered Species Act.

Please help save bees and other wildlife by boycotting these deadly pesticides. Tell the EPA to recall all BCP products immediately.
