Help Us Ban the Pesticide, Dacthal, in the U.S.!

Dacthal, is a cancer-linked pesticide, which has been banned in the EU since 2009. Unfortunately, here in the USA, the EPA

(Environmental Protection Agency) has failed to protect us and continues to allow this toxic pesticide to be sprayed on our produce. The Environmental Working Group (EWG) scientists found cancer-linked Dacthal on nearly 60 percent of kale samples! Meanwhile, health advocates encourage everyone to eat leafy green vegetables, but unless they are organic, chances are you are ingesting Dacthal.Join EWG and urge the EPA to BAN Dacthal today!

PFAS Chemicals, also know as Forever Chemicals, have no Place in our Food System!

PFAS, (Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are a group of toxic chemicals linked to cancer, birth defects and other serious health problems. They are used in food packaging to make the wrapper water resistant and stick resistant, but they contaminate the food and are making us sick. They’re called “Forever Chemicals” because they don’t break down in the environment or in our bodies – 97% of Americans have measurable levels in their blood.Right now, Congress is considering a bill that would ban the use of PFAS in all food packaging. Please help us keep the pressure up and send a message to your members of Congress asking them to protect all Americans by banning PFAS in all food packaging?
