The two biggest hardware store chains in the world are still selling
cancer-linked Roundup across North America, despite knowing the risks.

Tell Home Depot and Lowe’s to take this dangerous pesticide off their
shelves.

John,

Glyphosate -- the main chemical ingredient in Roundup -- is linked to
increased risk of cancer and reproductive problems. 

It threatens 93% of US endangered species with injury or death.

And as you read this, Home Depot and Lowe’s are making decisions about
whether or not to continue selling glyphosate-laden weed killers this
spring. 

This is our chance to convince the mega hardware store chains to put the
health of their customers and the planet first by getting rid of these
toxic pesticides.

[ [link removed] ]Sign the petition now to demand that Home Depot and Lowe’s stop selling
Roundup and other cancer-linked glyphosate products.
 
Home Depot and Lowe’s are endangering their customers’ health by keeping
glyphosate products on their shelves. 

In 2019, a jury ordered Bayer-Monsanto to pay $2 billion to a couple who
claimed that decades of using Roundup caused their non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
And there are over 100,000 similar claims still pending.

But Glyphosate doesn’t just harm people. Roundup kills milkweed, the only
food source for monarch caterpillars. 

The monarch population in North America has declined by 90% in the past 20
years alone, as the use of Roundup has skyrocketed. Monarch butterflies
could vanish within our lifetimes if we don’t take steps to protect them
from toxic pesticides like glyphosate.

[ [link removed] ]Tell Home Depot and Lowe’s to do their part to protect the safety of
our loved ones and monarch butterflies.  

Home Depot and Lowe’s have caved to public pressure before. Thanks to
SumOfUs members like you joining forces with our partners, both
corporations have made commitments to stop selling bee-killing
neonicotinoid pesticides. 

[ [link removed] ]So let’s do it again! Act now to get glyphosate products off the
shelves at Home Depot and Lowe’s.
