Right now, billions of bees are dying. Already, there are nowhere near enough honeybees in Europe to pollinate the crops, and in California -- the biggest food producer in the US -- beekeepers are losing 40% of their bees each year. Were in the middle of an environmental holocaust that threatens all of us, because without pollination by bees, most plants and ⅓ of our food supply are gone. Scientists are sounding the alarm about pesticides that are toxic to bees, and say we’re using way, way more pesticides on our crops than we need. But as with oil companies and climate change, big drug companies that sell pesticides are fighting back with corporate-funded junk science that questions the evidence, and gives politicians an excuse to delay. Scientific studies are expensive. Avaaz may be the only crowdsourced funding model in the world able to raise enough to fund the worlds first large scale, grass-roots supported, totally independent study of whats killing our bees, that decisively challenges the junk science of big pharma. The need is urgent, and if we cant do this, its not clear who can. Lets see if we can raise a massive fund to save our bees.
