Tell the EPA: Dacthal is dangerous!
[[link removed]]

Friend,

Imagine you were cooking a meal and you learned a key ingredient was linked to cancer and other significant health concerns. You wouldn’t include it in your meal, right?

Right. It’s common sense.

In 1995, the EPA classified Dacthal, a pesticide found in leafy greens, as a carcinogen. Studies also linked its use to other health harms and environmental issues. But the EPA still has not outright banned Dacthal’s use.

TAKE ACTION: Sign the petition to remind the EPA of their findings, which deemed Dacthal as dangerous to our health and our environment – and urge them to ban its use immediately.

Conventional farming of kale relies heavily on the use of Dacthal, which is unfortunate, since kale and other leafy greens are naturally rich in vitamins and antioxidants. Non-organic kale farming not only stunts the amazing benefits of the vegetable and harms the people who consume and grow it – it’s also a serious threat to the atmosphere and our water sources.

Studies show that Dacthal’s breakdown products can travel quickly through the atmosphere, remain in the environment for long periods of time, and contaminate our water sources.

If you agree that it’s NOT acceptable for the EPA to turn a blind eye to their own information and put peoples’ lives and health at risk, join the tens of thousands of folks who’ve already signed the petition urging the EPA to stop the use of Dacthal.
