John,
The main ingredient in the weedkiller Roundup — a "probable human carcinogen" — is the most widely sprayed pesticide in history.1
Tell the EPA to ban Roundup!
[link removed]
The World Health Organization identified glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, as “probably carcinogenic to humans.” Yet we are exposed to this toxic chemical daily in our food, air, and water.
Recent lawsuits, brought by thousands of people with Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, have argued that their exposure to Roundup is linked with their cancer diagnosis. Many have won their cases.
But the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to claim there are “no risks to public health when glyphosate is used in accordance with its current label” and that “glyphosate is not a carcinogen.” 2,3,4
Demand the EPA ban the use of Roundup!
[link removed]
Although Monsanto (now Bayer) has long claimed that glyphosate is safe and does not cause cancer, unsealed court documents tell a potentially different story. Emails and memos from Monsanto reveal a coordinated strategy to manipulate the debate about the safety of glyphosate — to the company’s advantage.5,6,7
Many independent studies have revealed the harmful effects of Roundup, including links to reproductive issues and birth defects, antibiotic resistance, harm to our environment and toxicity to wildlife.
Tell the EPA to Ban Roundup
[link removed]
The EPA must listen to science and ban glyphosate and Roundup. The Trump administration is putting our health and lives at risk in the name of business interests. We demand that this toxic chemical be banned.
Join Food & Water Action – our sister organization – as we stand with other organizations to tell the EPA to ban Roundup.
