Right now, there are toxic chemicals on store shelves across the country. Rows and rows and rows of the pesticide Roundup – waiting to be picked up by unsuspecting customers and sprayed on their lawns and gardens. 

The dangers of Roundup aren’t well known – a CATASTROPHIC mistake. Roundup’s key ingredient, glyphosate, has been linked to alarming health risks: cancer, hormone disruption, fatty liver disease, and shortened pregnancy. Yet companies like Home Depot and Lowe’s still sell Roundup to anyone who wants it – some people will use this chemical on the lawns where their children play. Tell Home Depot and Lowe’s: STOP selling toxic Roundup! >>

Roundup doesn’t just impact the people who use it, Friend. The consequences spread to you, me, and the entire planet.

That’s because Roundup contributes to the pollinator population crisis. Glyphosate has been shown to impair bee navigation and even disrupt bee development. That means while bee populations are PLUMMETING, Roundup is making recovery even harder.

You have pollinators to thank for every 1 in 3 bites of food you eat, for blooming flowers in spring, for forming the foundation of ecosystems around the world. But Roundup is one of the toxic pesticides putting pollinators at risk. Please, Friend, we need 38 more messages from your area to Home Depot and Lowe’s. Help protect bees and the planet!
