With Halloween approaching, orange and black are everywhere right now. But when it’s time to take down all the spooky season decor, there’s still something orange and black that needs your attention — the monarch butterfly! Known for their bright orange and black wings with intricate patterns, these iconic backyard beauties are dying out rapidly.
Experts are pointing to a devastating decline in milkweed as a primary contributor to the loss of monarchs. Milkweed is an essential plant that monarchs rely on. It’s where they lay their eggs, and it’s also the ONLY food source for their newborn caterpillars. To put it simply, Friend: Monarchs can’t survive without milkweed.
But glyphosate, the active ingredient in Bayer-Monsanto’s Roundup, is DECIMATING milkweed in record numbers — and it’s no coincidence that the monarch population is dropping at the same time. We cannot let toxic pesticides threaten the survival of monarchs, pushing these vulnerable pollinators closer to EXTINCTION. TAKE ACTION NOW: Demand that Bayer-Monsanto STOPS selling Roundup and helps SAVE these precious butterflies before it’s too late! >>
Bayer-Monsanto will do anything to maximize corporate profits — even if it’s at the expense of pollinators, people, and the planet. The megacorporation has been caught manipulating science and evading regulations in order to hide the DANGEROUS TRUTH about the harms of Roundup.
Glyphosate is the most widely used pesticide in the world, which means that people and ecosystems around the planet are being exposed to its negative effects every day. It’s toxic to bees and can harm beneficial soil organisms that help maintain a healthy ecological balance.
Thousands of farmers and homeowners are SUING Bayer-Monsanto over their non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a cancer that has been linked to Roundup. Other human health risks associated with glyphosate include reproductive harm, kidney toxicity, and fatty liver disease.
Friend, will you let Bayer-Monsanto get away with its dangerous lies and environmental destruction? Or will you step up today and fight back against the pesticide industry’s corporate greed? Add your name now >>
Thanks for taking Action,
