URGENT ACTION NEEDED: Roundup is DESTROYING the only plant monarch babies can survive on! Take action now >>
This toxic weedkiller has virtually WIPED OUT milkweed -- the only food source for young monarchs -- across the U.S.
And Roundup can be LETHAL to bees. Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, destroys beneficial gut bacteria that protects bees from diseases, and exposure to this harmful chemical can interfere with their reproduction abilities -- meaning fewer baby wild bees!
Wild bees are already dying at an alarming rate -- and the pesticide industry’s greed is a driving factor.
Despite what you just read, Roundup is still available to purchase by unsuspecting customers. That’s why it is important for us to hold mega-retailers like Home Depot and Lowe’s accountable. if just 46 more people from Taunton take immediate action, we can help push Home Depot and Lowe’s to help protect pollinators and our planet from Roundup! Sign now by 11:59pm TONIGHT!
When people use Roundup on their gardens and lawns at home, they could be unknowingly putting themselves at risk, too! Research points to alarming health risks linked to glyphosate: cancer, hormone disruption, shortened pregnancy, and fatty liver disease.
A study found that 80% of U.S. children and adults had traces of glyphosate in their bodies. Children are especially susceptible to the health impacts of toxic pesticides. It’s critical that corporations like Home Depot and Lowe’s stop selling Roundup to protect children and our communities.
It will take each and every one of us to get Roundup off of Home Depot and Lowe’s shelves. Please, tell Home Depot and Lowe’s to prioritize our health over corporate profits—add your name to our petition now! >>
Standing with you,
