Sign the European Citizens’ Initiative to save bees and farmers!

To all our members, newsletter subscribers & website visitors who have not signed the European Citizens’ Initiative to ‘Save bees and farmers’ yet, you can still do so until the end of June 2021!

After Austria, Belgium, France, Germany and Romania, Hungary is the 6th country to reach the signature threshold and join the European Citizens Initiative (ECI) hive in calling on the European Commission and Parliament to phase out synthetic pesticides by 2035, support farmers and save bees and nature.

Why is this important?

If the initiative gathers one million signatures by 30 June 2021, the European institutions must consider turning the campaign’s demands into law. To achieve that goal, add your signature, help us spread the word and share the initiative widely within your network – on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram & Linktree.

Help spread the message: Communication materials

Have a look at the ‘Save bees and farmers’ website and browse the initiative’s communication materials. Information about the initiative is available in more than 20 languages here.
