We can’t afford to miss this crucial opportunity, friend.

The EPA is on the brink of letting Big Ag continue spraying paraquat, a deadly pesticide linked to Parkinson’s disease. But here’s the catch – they have to let the public weigh in before finalizing their ruling.

We have until April 1 to flood the EPA with comments demanding an immediate BAN on paraquat. Will you weigh in?

 
 
 
 
 
 

Let’s make it clear to the EPA that they answer to the people, not the pesticide industry. According to a former EPA official the agency has been “captured” by the pesticide industry and approves almost any new pesticide, “no matter the risk.”

This is unacceptable. The EPA should be protecting our environment and our health, but instead, they’ve allowed Big Ag to spray millions of pounds of dangerous pesticides across our country for decades.

Paraquat has already been banned in more than 50 countries! An NIH study found people who sprayed paraquat were twice as likely to develop Parkinson's. And if that isn’t enough, exposure to even a tiny amount can kill you within days!

Please help EWG convince the EPA to finally stand up to the pesticide industry and protect our health. It’s time to ban paraquat!

Thanks for your support, friend.
