(Beyond Pesticides, December 6, 2011) After three decades, we are in deep gratitude to our members for their continued support, as well as individuals who enjoy our online resources, like the Daily News Blog, or those who have joined us through online efforts to defend clean water<\/a> from pesticides, get the antibacterial triclosan out of consumer products<\/a>, or fight for strong organic standards<\/a> as an alternative to pesticide-intensive and genetically engineered food.<\/p>\n

\"\"That’s why we’re reaching out to ask you, as we do twice a year, to support our work and make a donation<\/a> this holiday season.<\/p>\n

Please consider a tax-deductible donation to Beyond Pesticides to help support work in these areas:<\/p>\n

— Children’s Health<\/a>.<\/strong> Children are even more vulnerable to pesticides than adults. Studies link exposure to ADHD, lower IQ and more. We fight to protect kids from pesticides at schools, in the community, and on the food they eat.<\/p>\n

— Organic Food<\/a>.<\/strong> Pesticides pose a hazard to your family, as well as farmworkers and the environment. Our work, including the online Eating with a Conscience<\/a><\/em> guide, pushes for an end to chemical-intensive farming.<\/p>\n

— Protecting Pollinators<\/a>.<\/strong> We need pollinators to grow many of the foods we eat. The disappearance of honey bees identifies a serious flaw in our approach to the use of pesticides.<\/p>\n

— Lawns and Landscapes<\/a>.<\/strong> Huge quantities of toxic pesticides are being applied to lawns and parks for purely aesthetic purposes. Our work supports a nationwide transition from unnecessary chemical use to proven organic methods.<\/p>\n

— Public Education<\/a>.<\/strong> We provide support to grassroots activists, policy makers, and others by phone, online and in person. We also publish the quarterly magazine, Pesticides and You<\/a><\/em>, and maintain an information-rich website.<\/p>\n

For a donation of $150, we will send you a copy of the award-winning film Vanishing of the Bees<\/a><\/em>. Thank you for your support. Donate here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Best wishes for a healthy holiday season and new year –
