What I find curious about this campaign, is that only one retailer is being
targeted for selling neonicotinoids. I would be interested to follow the money
trail behind the campaign.

Do they even have Bunnings in the USA? There's an identical campaign
against
Home Depot and Lowe's from the same site; it looks like someone didn't
proofread
their cut and paste. That said, Bunnings do stock neonicotinoid
pesticides (e.g.
imidacloprid.)
