Your Signature is Needed: Toxic pesticides can’t be washed off your food?

URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Endangered species in SERIOUS DANGER because of toxic pesticides! >> Friend, I need your help to push grocery giant Target to step up to save bees from BEE-KILLING pesticides. Pollinator populations are on a downward spiral. Over the few decades, the beloved Western Bumblebee population has dropped 93%! Bees are responsible for 1 in 3 bites of food we eat, so if these pollinator declines continue, they are a DIRECT THREAT to the food system that keeps us all alive, Friend. It’s not just bees, though. EPA research found that neonics threaten the continued existence of more than 200 endangered species! Grocery stores across the country sell food grown with these toxic pesticides anyway! [Please, Friend, tell Target to stand up for endangered species by getting toxic pesticides out of their supply chain!]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( The climate and biodiversity crises are already sending many endangered species hurtling toward EXTINCTION! And pesticides are a driver of the biodiversity crisis. Neonics can seep into our waterways and threaten aquatic species. Some songbirds can DIE from eating just one neonic-treated seed! From apples and spinach to corn and soy in packaged foods, many of the foods that Target sells are grown with neonics. These pesticides can be absorbed into the food itself and cannot be washed off. Neonics are linked to serious health issues like birth defects of the heart and brain and hormone disruption! [We need 1,209 more signatures by 11:59pm TONIGHT to hit our midnight goal!
