Absolutely troubling! I'm with you about liking the store but "phasing out" neonics like that, well, why bother? You could start a petition on Change.org that Lowe's MUST get more serious about being environmentally responsible and not just give lip service. They need to walk the walk.
"My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird — equal seekers of sweetness. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished." — Mary Oliver, from Messenger
