URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Stop grocery giant Kroger from selling food grown with BEE-KILLING pesticides! Act now to protect bees!

Pollinator populations are on a downward spiral, Friend. Over the last two and a half decades, the beloved Western Bumblebee population has dropped 93%, while toxic pesticides like neonics have made U.S. agriculture nearly 48x more toxic to bees! 

Despite these staggering figures, grocery companies like Kroger continue to sell food grown with toxic, bee-killing pesticides. That’s why we need your help, Friend. Kroger responds to public pressure, and we are just DAYS AWAY from Kroger’s shareholder meeting when your voice will have the most impact. Please, Friend, take just 30 seconds to tell Kroger to STOP selling food grown with toxic pesticides and help SAVE pollinators! >> 

Many bee and pollinator species are hurtling toward EXTINCTION! Our ecosystems and food system rely on pollinators to help plants and crops grow. Without them, even Kroger’s shelves might start to look bare. In fact, pollinators are responsible for every 1 of 3 bites of food we eat! 

The pesticides used on Kroger’s food don’t just hurt bees though, Friend. There are risks to you and me as well! Neonics have been linked to birth defects of the heart and brain, hormone disruption, and other serious health issues. How do you feel knowing these chemicals are applied to the food you eat? 

The problems with these pesticides are clear. They damage our health, the health of pollinators, and the health of our entire planet. We MUST get Kroger to stop selling food grown with these pesticides and NOW is the time to act. We need 4,782 more signatures to hit our goal before Kroger’s upcoming shareholder meeting! Send your message to Kroger and help fight toxic pesticides by 11:59 pm TONIGHT!
