Hi friend,

Did you hear the news? Bayer-Monsanto will end residential sales of the cancer-causing chemical glyphosate, the active ingredient in its weedkiller Roundup, by 2023!

This is a big win for public health, but risks from glyphosate persist because the toxic substance will continue to be dumped on American farmlands, contaminating our food.

More than 6,400 dedicated supporters have taken our survey on glyphosate, but I noticed your name was missing. Do you have time to complete this quick survey before midnight tonight to help EWG formulate our next steps on glyphosate?

Thank you for your support, friend.

Should the EPA ban cancer-causing glyphosate?

YES

Breaking news, friend.

Bayer-Monsanto has just announced it will end residential sales of the weedkiller Roundup, which has cancer-causing glyphosate as its key ingredient!

This is big news, and it comes after thousands have sued Bayer, which acquired Monsanto in 2018, for glyphosate’s role in causing cancer. But residential use makes up just a fraction of total glyphosate use. More than 200 million pounds of glyphosate are dumped on American farmland each year!

EWG tests have confirmed that this cancer-causing chemical contaminates popular foods like Cheerios, hummus and Quaker Oats. To protect Americans from cancer-causing glyphosate, the company should also immediately revoke the end-of-season use of glyphosate on food crops.

EWG is fighting to get glyphosate out of our food, but we need your help. Can you complete our quick survey on glyphosate before midnight tonight? Your responses will help us formulate our plans.

Thank you for your input, friend.
