Neonicotinoid pesticides are highly toxic to humans, bees, and the environment. As a consumer, I don't want to buy products that are harmful to me or the environment. Please stop your use of neonicotinoid pesticides and switch to an earth-friendly option.
Why is this important?
Your favorite flower might be hiding a dirty secret. Neonicotinoids, a highly toxic class of pesticide, are widely used on plants sold by major retailers like True Value and Ace. These pesticides are responsible for killing millions of bees and can have a devastating effect on human health. “Neonics” have been linked to a number of developmental problems, including brain and nervous system functions.
Europe has already banned these pesticides because of their problematic nature. It’s time for us to let major retailers, like True Value and Ace know we won’t continue to support their use of neonicotinoids.
