Your Signature is Needed: Tell Trump’s EPA to ban toxic pesticide atrazine

 

BREAKING NEWS: The world’s most authoritative body on chemical classification just determined that the toxic pesticide atrazine likely CAUSES CANCER! >> Tell the Trump Administration to BAN atrazine! Earlier this year, Trump’s EPA appointed a chemical industry lobbyist to oversee pesticide regulations. Since then, we’ve seen handouts to the pesticide industry in the form of lax regulations and dismissing serious concerns about toxic pesticides. Now Trump’s EPA is trying to downplay the serious harms of the toxic pesticide atrazine. A few years ago, the EPA itself concluded that atrazine is likely to harm more than 1,000 endangered species – and that its continued use could push some animals to EXTINCTION! But now, under Trump, it’s trying sweep the danger atrazine poses to wildlife under the rug! The good news is that the EPA is required to consider every single comment submitted during its public input period. And you can tell the EPA that instead of dismissing the harms of atrazine, it should BAN this dangerous chemical. But you only have until December 8th to submit your comment, Daisy! Tell Trump’s EPA to BAN atrazine before the December 8th deadline!

The International Agency for Research on Cancer just announced atrazine is a probable carcinogen – yet it’s contaminating the tap water of an estimated 40 MILLION Americans. That’s why 60 countries, including every country in the European Union, have already banned atrazine. But thanks to corporate lobbyists and Trump’s industry-friendly administration, greedy pesticide companies can keep profiting off atrazine in the U.S. Here’s the bottom line: atrazine hurts people and puts endangered species at risk of extinction. But Trump’s EPA is trying to say otherwise so that wealthy executives can keep profiting. You can help STOP this by telling Trump’s EPA to ban atrazine – but the comment period closes December 8th! Protect people and endangered species from the toxic pesticide atrazine before it’s too late!
