Hi, Folks -

Mailing from Ocean Robbins:

Atrazine is a dangerous endocrine-disrupting weed killer. More than 60 million pounds of it are sprayed on American crops each year - second only to Monsanto’s glyphosate.



Europe recently banned Atrazine. And based on recent findings, it’s time for the U.S. to do the same.



Last month, the U.S. EPA released an official report voicing concerns over the many ecological risks of atrazine. Now the EPA has opened up a comment period – between now and August 5 – as it conducts a fresh review of this dangerous pesticide.



Click here speak up and tell the EPA that it’s time to follow the science and ban atrazine.

Atrazine is so potent that male frogs exposed to low levels of it can turn into female frogs - producing perfectly viable eggs. It’s been linked to breast tumors, delayed puberty and prostate inflammation in animals, and to prostate cancer in people.



Yet this chemical is being widely-used on American corn fields – and it’s regularly found to be contaminating drinking water supplies.



So how is this stuff still legal?! Good question. It shouldn’t be.



That’s why the Food Revolution Network is teaming up with Environmental Working Group (EWG) to demand that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ban atrazine once and for all. Are you with us, Bonnie?​



Help us get to 75,000 signatures against atrazine: Click here to add your name to EWG and Food Revolution Network’s petition and tell the EPA it’s time to BAN this dangerous weed killer!​



Thanks for standing with us. Together, we’ll get atrazine out of our water and our environment.



Together, we’ll build a healthier and safer food future.



Thanks for all you do,



Ocean Robbins



P.S. Now that the EPA has publicly recognized the harm caused by atrazine, it’s time to take the next step and ban it for good. But it won’t happen without your help.​
