Forwarding a petition to ban chlorpyrifos started by Avazz.
Dear friends,
It’s the most dangerous pesticide you’ve never heard of, linked to cancer, brain damage, and nerve disorders — and it’s everywhere.
Chlorpyrifos is the chemical industry’s dirtiest secret, topping sales everywhere, but kept from the media spotlight. And it’s no surprise — it traces back to nerve agents developed in a Nazi lab! Now it’s in our food, air and drinking water.
Right now we have an amazing chance to get it banned. Europe could be about to block its use, and key decisions are coming up in major markets like Brazil and the US. Let’s make sure we win the ban in Europe and then unleash the power of our movement to push for bans everywhere!
Sign now and share with everyone — when this is huge, we’ll team up with chlorpyrifos victims to deliver our voices to regulators around the world:
Its defenders say chlorpyrifos is an effective pesticide — but that’s because it’s derived from a class of chemicals developed to make nerve gas! This could be one of the most toxic chemicals we’ve ever put on our food.
The effects it can have on the human body are devastating, triggering everything from lung cancer to Parkinson’s disease. And children can be badly affected, damaging their brain development and reducing their IQ.
Now we have a chance to call time on chlorpyrifos use. With Europe close to a ban, we can take this over the line, then help launch a movement to take the fight to other major markets across the world — starting with Brazil and big US states where key decisions are imminent.
Sign now and share with everyone — let’s get this toxic chemical off our food and out of our children’s bodies ASAP:
