Hi there,

Our petition urging food retailers to take action against produce contaminated with bee-killing pesticides will expire at 11:59 p.m. TOMORROW NIGHT, but I still don’t see your signature.

Here’s your custom link to sign: [[link removed]]

We’re only 23,027 signatures away from our 50,000 goal, which is why I had to reach out personally one final time.

Getting toxic neonics out of grocery stores could be critical to rebuilding global bee populations and protecting our children’s health for generations to come. But we can’t keep the pressure on pesticide companies without your help.

Walmart and the EU have already taken action to keep neonics as far away from families as possible. Will you join them by adding your name to EWG’s petition?

In case you missed it, here’s your personal petition link: [[link removed]]

Grateful to have your support in this fight,

Friend, I have to ask: Are you concerned about toxic pesticides on produce like apples, broccoli and potatoes sold in your local grocery store?

If so, please add your name to EWG’s petition urging food retailers to take action against toxic pesticides. We need to collect 50,000 signatures before May 22, and right now, we’re only 39% of the way there.

The CDC released alarming new numbers recently that signal exposure to the toxic pesticides known as neonics is far more widespread than previously estimated.

These bee-killing chemicals have been found in 50% of kids ages 3 to 5 years old in the U.S.! Although the research is ongoing, we already know that neonics may be linked to nervous system and brain development damage in young children.

The EU has banned four of these harmful chemicals, but in the U.S., Big Ag continues to dump 4 million pounds of neonics on American farmland each year. It’s clear we need retailers to step up and take action to stop pesticide companies from lining their pockets at the expense of our health and our environment.

We still need 30,533 signatures on our petition telling grocery stores to stop selling produce contaminated with neonics, but you haven’t added your name yet. Please, we are counting on you!
