BREAKING: The EU and New York BAN neurotoxic pesticide! MIDNIGHT DEADLINE: Should the U.S. ban brain-damaging chlorpyrifos? |
Friend,
Two HUGE developments: The E.U. and the state of New York just announced their plans to BAN chlorpyrifos, a neurotoxic pesticide.
Chlorpyrifos can cause brain damage in kids, even at incredibly low levels of exposure. Earlier this year, the EU determined there is NO safe level for chlorpyrifos. But Trump’s EPA is still protecting this dangerous chemical.
The EPA was poised to ban the pesticide, but in March 2017, the Trump EPA vacated the ban at the request of the pesticide industry. It’s time for the federal government to stop protecting the pesticide industry and start protecting public health.
EWG is taking on the pesticide industry, but we need your help. We need 3,782 of our top supporters to take our quick survey before 11:59 p.m. to help us get chlorpyrifos out of our food. Your response will help us formulate our plans for 2020.
Should the U.S. ban brain-damaging chlorpyrifos?

Thanks for your feedback, friend.
