To the EU, US and Brazil authorities, and all Ministries and regulators responsible for Health and Environmental Policy:

We are alarmed about the serious health effects of the widely used pesticide chlorpyrifos. Leading health authorities say chlorpyrifos does not meet the required safety criteria and have identified that it's possibly causing cancer and brain damage in children. This means there's no safe exposure level. We call on you to immediately ban the use of substance present in our fruits, vegetables and drinking water and protect us and our children.

Ban chlorpyrifos!
Eva was just 3 years old when scientists investigated the cause of her severe autism. They found a culprit: Chlorpyrifos -- a toxic chemical sprayed on nearby peach farms while Eva was still in her mother's belly.

This invisible poison can be found all over our fruit, vegetables, and even in our water -- despite evidence linking it to permanent brain damage in babies, Parkinson’s, and cancer.

But right now, Europe is deciding whether to ban chlorpyrifos -- and it could pave the way for bans across the world! Let's make sure it happens, with 1m signatures, polls, medical tests, and public education campaigns.

Sign now to show regulators everywhere that we want this poison off our plates and out of our children’s bodies!
