Scientists around the world are sounding the alarm on an INSECT APOCALYPSE! Pollinators are rapidly vanishing, in large part due to toxic pesticides!

Pollinators are essential to many ecosystems. Without them, many plants would be
unable to reproduce, unraveling the food web and LEAVING ANIMALS WITHOUT VITAL FOOD. Pollinators also facilitate the beautiful blooms we enjoy in spring and the
very food crops that we eat. In fact, you can thank pollinators like bees for 1 of every 3 bites of food on our plates.

But corporate grocery stores like Kroger are selling food grown with toxic
pesticides, including neonics which are key drivers of pollinator declines. These chemicals
are DEADLY TO BEES , attacking their nervous systems and damaging their ability to navigate, find
food, fight diseases, and EVEN REPRODUCE!

Kroger could score a major victory for bees, and for itself -- bees pollinate
the food it sells! But Kroger has made it clear it won’t act without pressure.
That’s why we need YOU. Friend, will you PROTECT bees and tell Kroger to STOP
selling food grown with toxic pesticides by 11:59pm TONIGHT?

[[link removed]]Let’s be clear, Friend. The pollinator crisis is URGENT! 40% of insect pollinators are on the brink of extinction as Kroger’s shelves continue to be stocked with food sprayed with chemicals
that can KILL BEES. Every second Kroger waits to take action, it further
endangers pollinators, our ecosystems, and our food system. We can’t let that
happen!

Kroger is putting profits before bees, before the sustainability of our food
system, and before HUMAN HEALTH! The impact of toxic pesticides is not just
limited to bees. Glyphosate, another pesticide applied to the food that Kroger
sells, has been linked to cancer, hormone disruption, shortened pregnancy, and fatty liver disease. This is not just about protecting bees, it’s about protecting people too!

Don't wait, Friend -- the science is clear, and we need
to hold Kroger accountable for the sake of our health, our pollinators, and our
planet’s future. We need 56 more people from your area to demand Kroger STOP
selling food grown with toxic pesticides to reach our goal. Let’s show Kroger
that we won’t stand for their reckless actions anymore!
