We've got great news to share, friend. Walmart just became the latest retailer to take action against bee-killing pesticides known as neonics! Now: We need 50,000 signatures to keep the pressure on Big Ag and get pesticides out of grocery stores across the country. Will you sign our petition calling on more retailers to take action? |

Bees are responsible for pollinating one-third of our food supply, but global bee populations are in rapid decline. Scientists are pointing to a dangerous group of pesticides known as neonics as a potential cause, and new research suggests the damage doesn’t end there. A recent study from the CDC found neonics in 50% of children in the U.S. ages 3 to 5 years old. Evidence also suggests that these chemicals may harm kids’ developing nervous systems and brains. That’s a risk we simply cannot afford to take. We’ve set a goal of reaching 50,000 signatures on our petition urging retailers to stand up to Big Ag and keep neonics out of our grocery aisles. Please, can we count on you to add your name immediately? |

Walmart is the biggest retailer yet to stand up to Big Ag by taking action against neonics, but the truth is, pesticide companies will do anything to protect their profits. Our movement could lose serious momentum if we give polluters even a second to retaliate. We need 50,000 signatures before we run out of time to keep the pressure on. If you agree that more retailers must keep toxic, bee-killing pesticides out of our produce aisles, use this link to sign our petition: Thank you for using your voice to make a difference, EWG |
