Enlist
Duo is a highly toxic herbicide that blends glyphosate, a probable
carcinogen that is wiping out the monarch butterfly, with 2,4-D, a
poison used during the Vietnam War as an active ingredient in Agent
Orange.
It’s
a pesticide that is simply too dangerous for humans and animals! Yet
the Environmental Protection Agency approved this highly toxic herbicide
cocktail for widespread use on genetically engineered corn and soybean
crops.
With your help, we challenged the EPA’s reckless decision…and today we won!
This is a huge victory that you helped win! Thank you!
Every
day, we’re up against powerful corporate interests that will stop at
nothing to put profits ahead of people and the planet. But today we
proved that by coming together, we can stand up to these powerful
industries and win!
More
than 1 billion pounds of pesticides are being dumped onto U.S. crops
every year—threatening your family’s health, drifting into the air,
seeping into waterways, endangering farmworkers and threatening the
survival of endangered species.
But
with you by our side, Earthjustice will continue fighting to reform our
broken chemical system, targeting the most dangerous chemicals and
advancing sustainable agriculture.
As we head into a holiday centered around food and taking care of those we love, this victory is even more sweet!
Thank you for standing with us as we take on the dirtiest industries of our time—and win!
Happy holidays to you and yours,
