Tell Amazon: No more bee-killing pesticides
To Andy Jassy,
I am writing to strongly urge you to stop the sale of neonicotinoid (neonic) pesticides on Amazon. These pesticides have been shown to have a devastating effect on our country’s bee populations, and are partly responsible for the more than 90% decline in the population of the American bumblebee, to give just one example.
Without these vital pollinators, both the ecosystems and agriculture upon which we depend would be in great danger. Neonic pesticides just aren’t worth the environmental damage they cause. I therefore urge you to stop their sale immediately.
