This is ridiculous, John.

We shouldn't be able to get toxic, bee-killing chemicals shipped to our doorstep at the push of a button.

Neonic pesticides are contributing to bee-die offs that put our entire food system at risk. Not to mention: They've also been linked to neurological issues in humans.1

But despite all the risks, neonic pesticides are still sold on Amazon in most states.

Amazon can protect pollinators, our health and the planet by getting these toxic pesticides off their virtual shelves. Tell Amazon: Stop selling bee-killing neonics.

It's nice to watch bumblebees buzz and butterflies swoop on a warm spring day -- but if we don't get neonic pesticides under control, we stand to lose a lot more than a pleasant view.

Can you imagine a world without coffee? Without apples, almonds and potatoes? Bees and other pollinators are vital partners in producing these crops and much more.2,3

Neonics cause permanent damage to bees' brains, weaken their immune systems, and harm their ability to navigate to their hives.4 When plants are treated with neonics -- whether on a field sprayed by a farmer, or in a garden sprayed by an Amazon shopper who got their neonics online -- pollinating insects pay the price.

As the world's largest online retailer, Amazon can have a huge impact on the amount of neonics being sold and used.

Add your name to urge Amazon to take the lead on saving the bees by stopping its sale of neonic pesticides.

When we work together to stop neonics, we can win. Thanks in part to PIRG's advocacy, twelve states have already implemented at least some restrictions on the sale of neonics within their borders.

But bees and other pollinators can't recognize lines on a map. They won't be safe until neonics aren't sold anywhere in the U.S.

That's why Amazon can make a big difference. As a company with nationwide -- and worldwide -- reach, it has the unique opportunity to cut the amount of neonics entering our environment and build a safer, healthier future for all of us.

Tell Amazon to stop selling bee-killing pesticides today.

Thank you,
