Tell the EPA: Ban Monsanto's Roundup Unless and Until It's Proven Safe
I urge you to ban Monsanto's Roundup unless and until it's proven safe.
New research links the chemicals in Roundup to serious health risks, including cancer and reproductive problems. What's worse, nearly 300 million pounds of Roundup and other similar herbicides are used on farms in the United States every year. It’s already been found in our waterways, in our food, and in our bodies, posing a danger to our health and our environment.
Please take strong action and ban Roundup unless and until independent research can prove that it's safe.
Why is this important?
We're launching a big campaign to get the EPA to ban Roundup unless and until it's proven safe.
The chemicals in Roundup have been linked to serious health risks, yet its use is on the rise. The active ingredient in Roundup is now the most widely used agricultural chemical of all time.
Yet weeds are developing resistance to the herbicide, becoming "super weeds." That means farmers need to use more Roundup to kill those weeds, subjecting more of our rivers, land, wildlife and bodies to more of the chemicals linked to cancer and reproductive problems.
It's time for the EPA to ban Roundup unless and until it's proven safe. Join our movement and sign our petition now!
