\n(Beyond Pesticides<\/em>, June 14, 2019) Next week, June 17\u201322, marks Pollinator Week 2019, a celebration of the beauty and benefits these critical species provide, but also a call to action to protect pollinators and the natural world. Since United States Senate declared the first Pollinator Week in 2007, nearly every week since there has been new research published linking pesticides to pollinator declines<\/a>. Yet the companies that produce pollinator-toxic pesticides<\/a>, like Bayer and Syngenta, make use of this week to excuse their products from any culpability. Instead, they sponsor events and posters<\/a>, discussing every threat to bees except those posed by the pesticides that make up their bottom line.<\/p>\n

They are the villains in this story, but there is no superhero in line to save bees, butterflies, birds, and bats. \u00a0That\u2019s why it\u2019s up to you, everyday heroes that support protecting pollinators, to alert the public, and inspire good in elected officials.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve outlined a week of actions aimed at educating and inspiring action to protect pollinators.<\/p>\n

Monday<\/strong>
\nSupport the New Saving America\u2019s Pollinators Act (SAPA), HR1337<\/a>. <\/em>SAPA represents the best opportunity to enact meaningful changes at the federal level that will protect pollinators in the long term. This bill, reintroduced by Representatives Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) and Jim McGovern (D-MA), would immediately cancel pollinator-toxic pesticides and institute a Pollinator Protection Board of experts to review other pesticides for their toxicity to pollinators. On Monday, help us raise awareness of this legislation and inspire your Congressional Representative to add to the current list of 53 cosponsors.<\/p>\n

Tuesday
\n<\/strong>The Insect Apocalypse<\/a> and the Magnitude of the Current Crisis. <\/em>It\u2019s not just pollinators that are in decline. More and more studies are showing that the entire insect world is under at global catastrophic risk. However, the root causes of these emergencies all relate to the global spread of industrial agriculture and its operations to displace and\/or poison habitat, whether directly through the destruction of wild lands for farming, or the application of pesticides, or indirectly through their contributions to climate change. On Tuesday, help us fight back against totalitarian agricultural practices that place profit above the natural world.<\/p>\n

Wednesday<\/strong>
\nWatch and Share the short film, \u201cSeeds that Poison<\/a>.\u201d<\/em> The majority of corn, soybeans, and other food crop seeds are coated with toxic pesticides. Many seeds and flowers marketed as \u201cbee-friendly\u201d at garden centers are also contaminated with systemic chemicals. These pesticides emerge from the seed through the plant, and invade soil biology and surrounding waterways, causing indiscriminate poisoning and contamination. \u00a0On Wednesday, share this video with your friends, neighbors, and community, and encourage them to purchase organic, uncoated seeds in their yards and gardens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Thursday<\/strong>
\nProtect Pollinators in the Marketplace.<\/em> Groceries sold in supermarkets like Harris Teeter, Fred Meyer, King Soopers, and other Kroger-owned stores can contain pollinator-toxic pesticides. Kroger has the ability to eliminate these highly toxic chemicals in the food products it sells, but it has so far refused to do so. On Thursday, we\u2019ll be asking Kroger customers to visit their local stores and deliver a letter urging them to remove highly toxic pesticides from its supply chain and provide more affordable, organic options.<\/p>\n

Friday<\/strong>
\nPromote organic, pesticide free zones and join the #ProtectPollinators twitter chat<\/em>. To save pollinators, we need a positive vision for the future of food production and pest management. Organic agriculture and land management is a necessary part of that future \u2013 and every individual can do something in their own yard or community towards that effort. Show the world you\u2019re protecting pollinators and model what\u2019s possible without pesticides by placing a marker on the Pesticide Free Zone Map.<\/a> Take the Pesticide Free Zone Survey<\/a>, and upload a picture of your pollinator friendly, pesticide-free lawn, yard, or garden.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll also be joining allies in a #ProtectPollinators twitter chat on Friday, June 21 at 12pm <\/strong>to call out industry malfeasance, and spread the word about the important efforts going on throughout the country \u2013 at the local, state, and federal level, to truly #protectpollinators.<\/p>\n

Thank you to all who can engage in these efforts and be a pollinator hero this pollinator week. Stay tuned for more updates throughout next week!<\/p>\n

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org\",\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/\",\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/\",\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/\",\"https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides\",\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/\"],\"url\":\"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/\"}]}<\/script>\n<!-- \/ Yoast SEO plugin. -->","yoast_head_json":{"title":"Gear Up for Actions to Protect Pollinators during Pollinator Week, June 17 - 22 - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/2019\/06\/gear-up-for-actions-to-protect-pollinators-during-pollinator-week-june-17-22\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"Gear Up for Actions to Protect Pollinators during Pollinator Week, June 17 - 22 - Beyond Pesticides Daily News Blog","og_description":"(Beyond Pesticides, June 14, 2019) Next week, June 17\u201322, marks Pollinator Week 2019, a celebration of the beauty and benefits these critical species provide, but also a call to action to protect pollinators and the natural world.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them. Learn more about our work, read A Year in Review\u20142021, our accomplishments are your victories! Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25072","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25072"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25072\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":25097,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25072\/revisions\/25097"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25072"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25072"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25072"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
