John,

Neonic pesticides are so toxic they can kill a songbird with just one seed. And they’re decimating bee colonies everywhere.

But US farmers are still dousing their fields with gallon upon gallon – pushed on by pesticide corporations who use dodgy science and billions in lobbying to keep their poisons legal.

The quickest way to end this nightmare is for the big US retail chains to refuse to sell food grown using neonics. Walmart and Giant have started to move, but Target is dragging its feet. That’s why we need a massive wave of public pressure to push it into action.

Target’s annual shareholder meeting is next week – it’s the perfect time to ramp up the heat. Can you sign?

Tell Target: stop selling food grown with toxic neonics

The science is clear: neonics can kill bees, contaminate our water and threaten human health – they’ve been linked to serious health issues, like birth defects of the heart and brain and hormone disruption.

It’s why the EU voted to ban these poisons six years ago. But incredibly, US regulators have failed to follow, thanks to billions of dollars of lobbying from chemical corporations like Bayer-Monsanto.

The good news is there’s another way to fight back: if shops like Target stop selling food grown with poisons, then producers will have to stop using them. And not just in the US – these retail companies import food from across the planet…the ripple effects could be massive.

In the long-term we need rigorous new laws to stop birds, bees, and all animals being exposed to toxic pesticides. But this is something we can do right now to protect precious, vital species from harm. Add your name:

Tell Target: stop selling food grown with toxic neonics

This is a fight we’ve been in from the beginning – and we’ve had huge wins, like securing the EU neonics ban against all the odds! None of it would have happened without people like you standing up for what’s right. So let’s do it again now, for the bees, for the birds, and for all animals.
