*******URGENT CALL TO ACTION****************
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, ignoring more than 60 members of Congress and a half a million citizens, has officially approved a deadly new herbicide, Dow’s Enlist Duo, made from a combination of Monsanto’s Roundup and Dow’s “Agent Orange” 2,4-D.
WE WILL NOT BE IGNORED!!
We need every person who sees this post to take to the phones and call Dow, the EPA and the White House.
Dow Chemical: (800) 258-2436
Gina McCarthy, EPA Director: (202) 564-4700
EPA Pesticide Hotline: (800) 258-7378
White House Switchboard: (202) 456-1111 or (202) 456-1414
Suggested comments:
Simply put, Enlist Duo is a very bad idea. This will drive a massive increase in pesticide use that threatens to destroy vulnerable crops, while placing the burden of both increased costs and health risks on farmers and rural communities.
2,4-D is a very toxic herbicide. It is a suspected endocrine disruptor and has been linked to cancer and reproductive harm. Children are particularly susceptible to its effects.
2,4-D is much more harmful to plant life than RoundUp (glyphosate). Specialty crops (like grapes, tomatoes, beans and sweet corn) and non-GE soy and cotton are extremely sensitive to 2,4-D.
2,4-D does and will drift off of target crops. Both spray drift and volatilization drift can devastate adjacent ecosystems and entire landscapes. Such damage poses a very real threat to rural economies and farmers growing non-2,4-D-resistant crops.
Conventional farmers will lose crops, while organic farmers will lose both crops and certification, resulting in an economic unraveling of already-stressed rural communities.
2,4-D-resistant “superweeds” will arise and spread. RoundUp-tolerant “superweeds” have taken over farms and countryside in the Midwest and Southeast, and widespread use of 2,4-D will spur more of the same.
