BEES AND OTHER POLLINATORS ARE CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE OF WEEDKILLER ROUNDUP! BEES AND OTHER POLLINATORS ARE CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE OF WEEDKILLER ROUNDUP! Researchers have found that glyphosate — the main ingredient in Roundup — can harm bees’ gut microbiomes, making them more susceptible to disease, and hindering their navigation, which makes finding food and even the way back home difficult. Home Depot and Lowe’s are keeping their shelves stocked despite Roundup’s harmful impacts to bees. What’s more, the EPA found that glyphosate is likely to injure or kill 93% of U.S. endangered species, including many pollinators. Home Depot and Lowe’s can choose to make the right decision and stop selling Roundup – but only if people like YOU stand up. [Can I count on you to tell Home Depot and Lowe’s to protect pollinators?]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Right now, many gardeners are spraying this toxic chemical on their lawns and gardens, not realizing the risk it poses to their health and the planet. From cancer and hormone disruption to shortened pregnancy and fatty liver disease, a growing body of science points to the alarming risks linked to glyphosate. Friends of the Earth members like you have already helped to convince major garden retailers to stop selling bee-killing neonics. With your help, we can convince Home Depot and Lowe’s to REJECT Roundup! Help protect pollinators and human health: [Urge Home Depot and Lowe’s to stop selling Roundup before 11:59pm TONIGHT!]( [SIGN THE PETITION]( Standing with you,
