The EPA Continues To Defy The Science and Deny Glyphosate's Carcinogenic Threat
Now is the time to make your voice heard. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is asking for public comment on its preliminary decision to renew the approval of the herbicide glyphosate, best known as the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup.
Glyphosate is bad news for people and nature. The World Health Organization’s cancer authorities have found that glyphosate is a probable human carcinogen. Their determination is supported by the medical science community, but EPA continues to defy the science and deny glyphosate’s carcinogenic threat.
Tell EPA: Don’t approve glyphosate! Listen to scientists, not Monsanto!
Juries have already found Roundup use implicated in the cancers of four plaintiffs who sued the company. We must stop further suffering from this hazardous herbicide!
And glyphosate also threatens the natural world. 300 million pounds of the herbicide are sprayed every year in the U.S. alone. Glyphosate has played a key role in the disastrous decline of monarch butterflies by virtually eliminating the monarch’s milkweed host plant in corn and soybean fields sprayed with it. And Roundup formulations are also extremely toxic to frogs, and may be contributing to the worldwide decline in amphibian populations.
To make matters worse, EPA is proposing to renew glyphosate before having completed critical elements of its assessment, including its impacts on threatened and endangered species and pollinators! This will effectively deny the public input on these critical issues.
