Monarch butterflies are DYING out. Bayer-Monsanto is selling LIES. Human health is at RISK. Take action now>>
It’s not a secret that mega-corporations like Bayer-Monsanto are more concerned with profits than the health of our planet, pollinators, and people. But it’s still shocking just how far this powerful Big Pesticide company will go to sell its flagship weedkiller, Roundup, despite knowing how UNSAFE it is.
Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, is a major contributor to the devastating decline in monarch butterflies. The potent pesticide is WIPING OUT precious milkweed, a vital plant that monarchs depend on for survival as their only food source. Without milkweed, baby monarch caterpillars are STARVING TO DEATH.
But Bayer-Monsanto has been caught deceiving the public about the harms of Roundup, manipulating science, and evading pesticide regulations. Bayer-Monsanto MUST be held accountable for its DANGEROUS LIES, so we’re calling on 3,914 activists like you to speak up by 11:59 P.M. tonight to DEMAND that Bayer-Monsanto STOP selling toxic Roundup immediately. Can we count on you to stand with us? Add your name now >>
The widespread use of glyphosate is a far-reaching problem, and monarch butterflies aren’t the only ones at risk.
As the most commonly used pesticide in the world, the planet is being exposed to glyphosate’s harmful impacts every day. The EPA states that glyphosate could injure or kill 93% of endangered species, many of which help maintain a healthy ecological balance.
Humans are negatively affected by glyphosate, too. In fact, thousands of farmers and homeowners are SUING Bayer-Monsanto due to their non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer that’s been linked to Roundup. Glyphosate has also been linked to reproductive harm, kidney toxicity, and fatty liver disease.
If we’re going to stand up to a powerful corporation like Bayer-Monsanto and hold it accountable for threatening the health of people, pollinators, and the planet, it’s going to take A LOT of grassroots support to apply enough pressure. That’s why your voice is so critical in this fight. Please, we can’t do this without you. Will you sign our urgent petition right now to help end the use of toxic Roundup?
Thanks for joining the fight to protect pollinators and the planet,
Friends of the Earth
