Friend,
Would you drink a glass of water if it contained a chemical able to turn male frogs into female frogs with viable eggs?
Atrazine is the cancer-linked pesticide that is able to turn male frogs into female frogs with viable eggs — and it contaminates the drinking water of tens of millions of Americans. More than 63,000 supporters have signed EWG’s petition urging the EPA to BAN hormone-disrupting atrazine. But I still don’t see your name.

We need just 36,246 more signatures before 11:59 p.m. tonight to reach our goal!

The EPA is asking to hear from the public on its recent assessment of atrazine, but we only have until midnight February 19 to make sure we include your voice.
This pesticide should NOT be on the market. Please join the fight for your health today!

Thanks for taking action, friend.

Subject: NEW DEADLINE re: hormone disruptor in water
Tell the EPA:
Ban Hormone-Disrupting Atrazine!

***
The EPA has just extended their deadline on atrazine so that more Americans can weigh in on this toxic pesticide, friend!
We now have 3 more days to make our voices heard! Right now, millions of Americans are at risk of drinking atrazine, a toxic pesticide that has been linked to serious health risks like cancer, shorter pregnancy and hormone disruption.

Remember: Atrazine is such a powerful hormone disruptor, it can even turn male frogs into female frogs!
The EPA is about to give the pesticide industry the green light to keep spraying, but the EPA is asking to hear from the public on atrazine by February 19 before making its final decision on atrazine.
We need to overwhelm the agency with more than 100,000 comments before the deadline if we’re going to force it to stand up for human health over pesticide industry profits, but we’re 38,738 names short! Can we count on you to join us?

More than 70 million pounds of atrazine are dumped on American farmland each year, running off into the rivers, lakes and streams we rely on for drinking water.
We need the EPA to stand up for the environment and our health, but we only have until February 19 to make our voices heard.
TAKE ACTION: Stand up for clean water and tell the EPA to BAN atrazine!
