Bayer is suing Europe for Saving the bees
Wow. Bayer has just sued the European Commission to overturn a ban on the pesticides that are killing millions of bees around the world. A huge public push won this landmark ban only months ago -- and we can't sit back and let Big Pesticide overturn it while the bees vanish.
Just last month, 37 million bees were discovered dead on a single Canadian farm. And unless we act now, the bees will keep dying by the millions. We have to show Bayer now that we won't tolerate it putting its profits ahead of our planet's health. If this giant corporation manages to bully Europe into submission, it would spell disaster for the bees.
Please join me in signing the petition to tell Bayer and Syngenta to drop their bee-killing lawsuits now. http://action.sumofus.org/a/bayer-bees-lawsuit/?sub=taf
Thank you
Everyone, please sign it to save the bees. Bayer has no right to mass murder the bees for their profit.

Instead of signing a petition, why doesn't everyone just NOT buy these seeds, effectively stopping their using and cutting off their profits?

This is the biggest chemical producer in the world, we would need more than 200 million people to agree with this for it to change at all. Or a complete embargo of their sales in Europe for example, But many countries can't stop them because they are capitalistic, the company is allowed to do however they please as long as it is their legal right.
When i first heard this i couldn't believe 1 corporation is fighting with the ENTIRE Europe, until i heard that the company only indirectly disobeys international laws.

Do not sign anything until you find and understand the arguments of the opposite side.

Bayers want to sell it for profit, in no matter of thinking killing the bees is defenitely not something we can let happen. It has been proven that it kills the bees, and that i hurts birds as well, why not humans next in the death of bees?

You are giving the arguments of your side. What are the arguments of the opposite side?

They claim the ban on the chemical is "unjustified", this is written on the petitions website. Using that chemical, no matter the reason is not justified in any way.

We require bees for large amount of our food sources, fruits, flowers, flower based medicine and much more. I we were to suddenly lose all of this the world would be in chaos, millions of people would die in starvation.
We need bees to survive, without them we'll starve.

Meh, doesn't affect me.
That was a joke, last time I said that, people wanted to kill me.
I signed this one, though, because like you guys have all said (in laymans terms), bees are important.

bees affect everyone
without bees there would be nothing to naturally pollinate flowers(well a few other insects do but not as much as bees) resulting in no fruit or seeds for next year's crop harvest. Also the lack of pollonantion would mean that plant life dies off because there is nothing to alow the plants to create fertile seeds for the next year . there would also be no honey, no beeswax etc etc

Bees are a part of nature without insects humans will only last 8 years possibly less

Not the entire human race would disappear if bees die out, what will disappear is most of our food stocks. Many people believe it's gonna be okay because we live in rich countries, that doesn't change the fact that the food supply is gonna drop more than 40%. Prices for food would become extremely high, and in the end millions upon millions would starve to death, not just in poor countries, also in countries like USA, Germany, Finland, France, Sweden and Norway would suffer from this.
We can't let them continue to abuse our planet's health further, i really hope you'll sign it!

I cannot believe people need to fight for this, don't they realize so many bees being dead impacts humans right...

We need to fight for it, as these corporations actually have the right to do this. Believe it or not, they do. The only way to stop them is signing petitions, and doing more.
