Kroger's bee armageddon

Kroger is still selling food with toxic pesticides that harm people and bees   Kroger is still selling pesticide-laced foods, and playing Russian roulette with the health of our families, bees, and the planet. We need your help jamming Kroger’s phone lines to demand they phase out these dangerous chemicals. One quick call can make a huge difference in the fight to protect bees and our food supply from toxic pesticides. [Take Action!]( [ Make a callÂ]( {NAME}, 150,000 petition signatures. A national week of action. Crashing a shareholder meeting. Together, we’ve put the pressure on Kroger to stop selling foods laced with pesticides that hurt bees, people, and the planet. But Kroger is still dragging its feet. So today, thousands of SumOfUs members are joining a huge coalition of earth protectors to demand Kroger phase out toxic pesticides. We need your help jamming Kroger’s phone lines to tell the grocery giant we won’t accept food sprayed with poisons linked to cancer, brain disorders, and the global “bee Armageddon.” [Make a quick call to tell Kroger executives: Consumers want food grown without toxic, bee-killing pesticides!]( Kroger is playing Russian roulette with our families’ health and bee populations. The grocery giant’s private-label foods are contaminated with glyphosate, the “probable carcinogen” in Monsanto’s Roundup, and organophosphates, which are tied to ADHD. These dangerous pesticides are in the foods our families eat every day — like cereal, applesauce, and spinach. We know we have the power to shift Kroger policy, because we’ve done it before. Just days before we crashed its annual general meeting last year, Kroger announced it would phase out the sale of garden plants that have been treated with bee-killing neonicotinoids. Other retailers are already taking action. Costco just announced it would expand its organic produce, and encourage fruit and vegetable suppliers to phase out the use of neonicotinoids and chlorpyrifos, another dangerous pesticide. And the European Union voted to ban neonicotinoids altogether. As one of the country’s largest grocery chains, Kroger can set the industry on a new course that puts the health of consumers, the future of bees, and the planet before quick and dirty pesticides. We’ve already caught their attention — will you make a quick call today?
