<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just wanted to let you know that after many
months of talking with Whole Foods, they agreed last week to share a
Pollinator Fact Sheet produced by NAPPC's Consumer Outreach Committee with
their consumers. A message from Whole Foods is below. The web addresses
in which the fact sheet will be located are also below. </FONT><FONT

<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12px"><FONT face=Verdana>April,<BR><BR>I wanted
to let you know that we think the Fact Sheet is well done and we will be using
it as part of our Earth Day materials on our website and in our customer email
newsletter, <A href="mailto:fl@vors">fl@vors</A>. We don’t have the specific
web pages set up yet, but we expect to include this in our website’s Fresh
& New page, which we update monthly. We will have a short paragraph and
then provide a link that will take visitors to your pdf file. <BR><BR>You can
see this month’s Fresh & New page here:<BR></FONT><A

you know that most insects are essential in our ecosystems? For example,
almost 90% of all flowering plants rely on pollinators (like bees and
butterflies) for fertilization. To honor their contribution on this Earth Day,
we share great information from the North American Pollinator Protection
Campaign to get your whole family involved with simple steps you can take in
your yard to create habitat and help pollinators survive and
thrive.<BR></FONT><FONT face="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><BR>(Note: I realize
that all pollinators are not insects, but I liked the tie in to our ecosystem
and think that readers will get that hummingbirds, bats, etc. are pollinators
too, at least once they see your fact sheet.)<BR><BR>After April, website
visitors will be able to locate a link to this material through our
Environmental Issues page, here:<BR><A
href="http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/issues/list_environment.html">http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/issues/list_environment.html</A><BR><BR>Additionally,
we will include the text above and a link to the pdf in our April 20th issue
of <A href="mailto:fl@vors">fl@vors</A>, which goes out to over 250,000
subscribers. <BR><BR>Thank you for sharing your information with us. Please
let me know if you have any
questions.<BR></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></SPAN></BODY></HTML>
