Dear John,

Stop Bayer-Monsanto from poisoning our environment with Roundup®!
|
The EPA just found that the pesticide glyphosate -- a.k.a Bayer-Monsanto’s Roundup® -- is likely to injure or kill 93% of endangered species. Take action to stop glyphosate.
Glyphosate affects the reproductive systems of aquatic and land animals. It hinders plant growth. And it can harm over 1,600 endangered species.
These shocking impacts on the nation’s most vulnerable species are impossible to ignore. But the EPA won’t make changes to protect them without hearing from concerned activists like you, John.
Demand the EPA put our endangered species and habitats over Bayer-Monsanto’s profits!
The use of Roundup is so widespread that the EPA’s pesticide office has had to admit that hardly any endangered species can avoid its impacts. But for decades, Monsanto has been misleading the public, claiming Roundup is safe.
Now, 1,676 species and 759 critical habitats are at risk from this toxic product. The EPA needs to take action to stop the spray of this deadly poison.
For decades, the EPA has refused to comply with its obligation under the Endangered Species Act to assess the harm to animals and plants from toxic pesticides. It only assessed glyphosate because it was forced to by a legal agreement. We need your help to change that!
Save endangered species from Bayer-Monsanto’s Roundup.
Hundreds of millions of pounds of glyphosate are used every year in the United States for agriculture, lawns and gardens, landscaping, roadsides, and schoolyards.
Glyphosate has no place in our ecosystems. It not only threatens species and habitats, it also impacts human health. It has been linked to increased risk of cancer, kidney and liver disease, shortened pregnancy, hormone disruption, and other serious health problems.
From breakfast to dinner, people are exposed to glyphosate-contaminated food. We need your help to change that.
John, will you join us and ramp up the pressure on the EPA to take action to get glyphosate out of our ecosystems?
Demand the EPA follow the research and ban this toxic pesticide once and for all!
Standing with you,
