Did you miss this, friend?

The EPA recently decided to allow Big Ag to continue using chlorpyrifos, a neurotoxic pesticide that can harm kids’ developing brains!

Our team is putting together a plan to fight back. But we need to know our supporters have our back. Can you take a quick survey to help us formulate our strategy? (It just takes a minute!)

This is ridiculous, friend.

After two years of legal proceedings, the Trump EPA announced that Big Ag can continue spraying fruits and vegetables with the brain-damaging pesticide chlorpyrifos.

Chlorpyrifos can harm a child’s brain even at low levels and is used legally on popular foods like peaches, cherries and apples. A recent study even found chlorpyrifos in 60 percent of conventional milk samples tested. According to the EPA’s own assessments, the levels of chlorpyrifos on food and in drinking water found in multiple independent studies are unsafe!

The EPA was supposed to ban chlorpyrifos back in 2017. But shortly after meeting with Dow Chemical’s CEO, then-EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt aborted the ban. The EPA has been fighting to protect the pesticide industry’s profits instead of public health ever since.

But we’re not about to give up the fight. EWG is getting ready to gear up our work on toxic pesticides in your food and water.

You can always rely on EWG to fight for your health, even when the government won’t. Can we count on you to take a short survey to help guide our pesticide work?
