Friends of the Earth Canada ,Pesticide and Bee Awareness Campaign Job Vacancy in Canada


Position: Pesticide and Bee
Awareness Campaign
Organization: Friends of the Earth Canada http://www.foecanada.org
Location: Canada & USA

Did you know that bees are responsible for one out of every three
bites of food we

eat, but they are dying at alarming rates? There is
increasing scientific research demonstrating that neonicotinoid
(neonic) pesticides are key contributors to bee population declines,
and that these pesticides are also harming birds, butterflies,
reptiles, earthworms and soil microbes. Without these key components,
healthy and functional ecosystems are deteriorating.

Lowe’s continues to sell plants and seeds pretreated with these
harmful pesticides. These actions are contributing to the decline of
bee populations across North America and it is critical that we take
action quickly!

There are alternatives and it’s time for Lowe’s to make a change!

We need your help to ramp up the pressure. Pledge to take one simple
action to save bees: Deliver a Halloween card on October 29, 30 or 31
asking Lowe’s to take the bee-killers off their shelves.

You can sign up on our website to receive a printable card and
step-by-step guide on how to take action. Visit this link to get
involved: http://foecanada.org/en/takeaction/lowes/

You can also sign and share our petition demanding that Lowe’s stops
selling plants and seeds pre-treated with bee-killing pesticides here:

Help us eliminate these pesticides from our environment and give bees
a Happy Halloween!
