I got this in my email- more neonic Friends, Big news: On top of the 203,000 people nationwide who signed our petition telling Home Depot and Lowe's to stop selling bee-killing pesticides, hundreds of thousands of other people nationwide have signed similar petitions with other organizations. *In total, more than half a million people are now calling on the stores to take responsibility and stop selling neonic pesticides.* Now its time to turn up the pressure on Lowe's and Home Depot. There are a number of petition delivery events in the next few days where activists will be delivering signatures and bee-themed valentines to local stores. If you live in or near one of the following cities, click the appropriate link below to RSVP for the petition delivery event. These are peaceful events so we ask that you're courteous to store employees, managers and shoppers if you choose to attend. - Eugene, Oregon: Saturday February 15 at 11 a.m.<http://www.beyondtoxics.org/work/safe-public-places/healthy-bees-healthy-gardens/1000-friends-of-healthy-bees-get-involved/> - Emeryville, California: Wednesday, February 12 at 11 a.m.<http://action.foe.org/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=14990> - Washington, DC: Wednesday February 12 at 11 a.m.<http://action.foe.org/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=14988> - Minneapolis, MN: Wednesday February 12 at 11:15 a.m.<http://action.foe.org/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=14989> You can also deliver a valentine to your local Home Depot or Lowe's.
