Dear John,

Send a free postcard to Kroger and demand it say no to toxic pesticides in 2021!

Bees and other pollinators -- the cornerstone of Kroger’s food supply -- are in great peril, largely due to toxic pesticides. Send Kroger a postcard to save the bees!

Bees, butterflies, and other pollinators are dying at unprecedented rates. Kroger, the largest traditional grocery chain in the country, could play a large part in saving them.

It could commit to ending the use of pollinator-toxic pesticides in its food and beverage supply chains. It could increase bee-friendly organic offerings. But Kroger won’t step up unless it hears from concerned people like you, John.

Urge Kroger to help save the bees in 2021. Sign your name, and Friends of the Earth will send a postcard on your behalf. Help flood Kroger’s mail!

The bee crisis requires immediate action, not just aspirations. Kroger took a first step to protect pollinators by releasing a pollinator health policy -- but it fell short. The policy did not include a firm, time-bound commitment to eliminate bee-toxic pesticides and offer more bee- and people-friendly organic food.

Kroger is not taking the pollinator crisis seriously enough, which is why we’re ramping up the pressure. First, this month we put a billboard up right next to Kroger’s headquarters demanding it take action.

Now, we are asking concerned activists like you to join thousands of others across the country and demand Kroger do better by sending a postcard right to the CEO. The best part is, Friends of the Earth will send the postcard on your behalf at no cost to you! We will address it, add your signature, and mail it to Kroger headquarters -- flooding its mail!

Take action: Tell Kroger you want it to stop selling food grown with toxic pesticides.

Bees pollinate 75% of our food crops, from almonds to tomatoes and everything in between. Without pollinators, Kroger’s shelves would be pretty empty.

As the largest traditional grocery store, Kroger has the power to make our food system healthier and safer for pollinators. But instead, it’s still selling products produced with bee-killing neonics and bee-toxic, brain-damaging chlorpyrifos.

Put the pressure on Kroger to get these poisons out of our food system and out of our environment. Kroger won’t act unless it hears a wave of outrage from people like you.

Send a postcard now: Tell Kroger to protect pollinators and our planet!

Standing with you,
