In November 2019, many of you joined us in calling on UK supermarkets to take action on pesticides. Thank you!
Now, as spring approaches and gardeners prepare for the year ahead, it’s time to ask UK supermarkets to take pesticide products off their shelves ([link removed]) .
** Pesticides impact on our garden wildlife (and pets)
------------------------------------------------------------
Gardens and allotments are havens for wildlife, but pesticide products can make them toxic environments. Herbicides (weedkillers), insecticides, and slug pellets are still widely used in gardens, poisoning our wildlife and removing their food sources. When was the last time you saw a hedgehog in your garden? Hedgehog numbers have declined ([link removed]) from 30 million in the 1950s to around one million. Garden birds ([link removed]) , bats ([link removed]) , frogs and toads ([link removed]) are all declining in numbers. And our insects, pollinators and native flowers are disappearing at an alarming rate.
But if we make our gardens pesticide-free, there is a chance that animals like these can thrive again.

EMAIL SUPERMARKETS ([link removed])
CEOs care about their supermarket’s public image and they have the clout to make big changes. As a customer, you have the power to sound the alarm and tell your supermarket to take these poisons off their shelves.
Thank you for taking action. If you'd like to support us in our work with a donation we would really appreciate it.
