Thanks, now let's reach key decision makers on social media!
Our massive call has so far faced down Monsanto’s lobbying, but now the final
vote is down to the wire
-- let’s make sure our call is heard by key decision makers in Europe.
Use the tools on the right to
send an urgent message on Facebook or send a tweet.
Let’s make sure they know the world is watching, and looking to them to protect our health and environment, and lead the way to a safe sustainable food future!
Feel free to use the points below, but it’s always best to use your own words, and remember to
be polite and authentic:
I am one of over 1.4 million citizens calling on you to vote to suspend glyphosate unless it is proven safe by independent studies.
Polls show that two-thirds of Europeans want this chemical banned, and Europe can lead the world on this.
Independent UN scientists have assigned glyphosate its second highest carcinogenic rating -- ‘probably causes cancer’, and studies have found it in our blood.
Studies have also found that it contributes to producing pesticide-resistant superweeds and destroying biodiversity.
Key European countries are listening to independent science and the public, now the whole world is watching.
It’s totally possible -- towns worldwide are banning glyphosate, and farmers are already using alternative systems with studies showing gaps in yield compared to industrial agriculture are small and closing.
