Hi,

This week, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is expected to rule on the fate of carbofuran, a deadly pesticide that has killed millions of birds and poses significant human health risks. With so much at stake, now is the time to take action.

I just took action online and I hope you will, too. It's easy just go to the website below and ask the EPA to remove this deadly product from the market:

The pesticide carbofuran is highly toxic to birds. In fact, just one granule of carbofuran is enough to kill a songbird.

Carbofuran has killed millions of birds, including hundreds of bald eagles and thousands of waterfowl. Birds from more than 100 other species have also been killed, including eastern bluebirds, northern pintails, American robins, owls, swallows, grackles, killdeer and kestrels

The EPA must decide whether to allow the continued use of carbofuran by this Thursday (August 3rd), so please take action right away:

We don't have much time and we need to get the word out, so please forward this message to anyone and everyone you know who cares about protecting our wildlife. Don't sit on your butts and do nothing.

Thanks. Gene Kridler
