Many pesticides are poisons that kill animals, people and undermine our right to live on a healthy planet.

What will you tell your children and grandchildren about this political renunciation on pesticides? There is no bright future if we continue to poison our food and our fields.

We urge you to reconsider your recent decision to withdraw the plan to cut pesticide use and do everything you can to ban toxic pesticides.

We ask you to stand firm against the pesticide lobbies and use your current mandate to take back the promise of a sustainable Europe for ourselves and future generations.

With fierce determination,

European citizens with Avaaz
