Tell the EPA: Reapproving dicamba will cause immeasurable harm to pollinators and people.
John,
Last year we scored a court win revoking the use of dicamba, a dangerous herbicide, on genetically modified cotton and soybeans. We celebrated for the monarch butterflies, whooping cranes, rusty-patched bumblebees, and other species that finally got to breathe a little easier this summer.
This could see dicamba sprayed on 100 million acres of farmland. Flowering plants — like the milkweed monarchs need to survive — and anything else in the vicinity won’t stand a chance.
The proposal comes just a month after the Trump administration installed a former pro-pesticide soybean lobbyist as the head of the EPA pesticide office, a move that will keep people and the environment sick.
