Roundup is now 45 times more toxic! ⚠️ Bayer

Roundup is now 45 times more toxic! ⚠️

Bayer has reformulated Roundup, making it significantly more harmful to human health and the environment.

🚫 This is a dangerous move by a company with a long history of prioritizing profits over people.

We need to #RejectRoundup and demand safer alternatives. 🌱

Why is this a big deal?

🔴 Roundup is a popular weed killer used by millions of people around the world.

🔴 Bayer pledged to remove glyphosate from residential Roundup following tens of thousands of lawsuits linking the product to non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and replaced it with combinations of four chemicals, two of which are banned in the EU (diquat dibromide, fluazifop-P-butyl, triclopyr, and imazapic)

🔴 It’s being sold in nearly identical packaging, so consumers are unknowingly exposing themselves to higher risks.

🔴 The US EPA is allowing Bayer to get away with it.

What can we do?

👉 Stop using Roundup
.
👉 Demand safer products. (@HomeDepot, @Lowes, @Bayer)

👉 Spread the word.

In the Mathur vs. Ontario case, FOE intervened to argue that the court’s analysis should be guided by international law, including the precautionary principle, ecological sustainability, intergenerational equity, and environmental justice. The Ontario Court of Appeal emphasized in its decision that the application of international environmental law to the youth’s Charter claims is an important issue to be addressed at the new hearing.
