Closed Ban the Use of Neonicotinoids / Nerve Agents and Other Pesticides Harmful to Bees and Other Pollinators, in the UK

Closed on

Please ban in the UK, as soon as possible, the use of neonicotinoids (nerve agents) and any other pesticides that are proven to be harmful to bees and other pollinators.

Italy and France have banned these 'nerve agents' or 'neonicotinoids' from their farming practices.

Let's do the same!

Thus protecting our bees, and hopefully other pollinators too - I feel that we should work to protect all dwindling insects such as butterflies, intelligent wasps, flies, etc. creating richer biodiversity.
