Monsanto isn’t backing down, friend.

Their propaganda machine is already claiming Germany’s decision to ban glyphosate “ignores decades of scientific judgment.”

Insane! Monsanto has been covering up glyphosate’s carcinogenic risks for years. We urgently need you to weigh in:

SURVEY: Should the U.S. follow Germany and Austria and pledge to ban glyphosate?

More than 7,000 supporters have already submitted their thoughts, but we haven't heard from you.

Don't miss your chance to make your voice heard! Your response will help us formulate our plans for 2020 and keep fighting to get toxic pesticides like glyphosate out of our food and environment!

Thanks, friend,

Senior Digital Strategist, EWG

Dear friend,

Holy cow – this is big news: Germany announced it would ban glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup. This comes just after Austria announced a total ban of the pesticide in early July.

Germany took this step because research shows the toxic weedkiller to be linked to cancer in people. It’s also a threat to pollinators like bees. It’s bad for our health and bad for our planet.

In the U.S., the Environmental Protection Agency is doing the opposite. They’ve kowtowed to Monsanto, now part of Bayer, and protected glyphosate time and again. They’ve even tried to obscure studies on glyphosate’s health impacts.

But EWG is not backing down. We’re ramping up our advocacy work on toxic pesticides like glyphosate, pressuring companies to stop the use of the toxic weedkiller, and testing products so that you know where it’s found.

We’re already looking ahead to our plans for 2020 and urgently need you to weigh in.

Should the U.S. follow the lead of Germany and Austria and pledge to ban glyphosate?

Take the survey.
