Your Signature is Needed: Lowe’s and Home Depot still selling cancer-causing Roundup

Dear Friend, Take action: Tell Home Depot and Lowe’s to stop putting people, pollinators, and the planet at risk from Roundup! [Sign Now]( BIG NEWS: Bayer-Monsanto will remove pollinator-toxic glyphosate from Roundup for U.S. consumers beginning in 2023. But pollinators cannot wait another two years to get this pesticide out of backyards. [Take action now.]( Glyphosate kills milkweed -- the only food that young monarch butterflies eat. It’s linked to monarch declines across the West, and it hurts bees as well. Bayer-Monsanto’s decision means people will still be able to buy Roundup at stores like Home Depot and Lowe’s and spray it in their neighborhoods for the next two years. Friend, we need you to demand garden retailers stop selling it immediately to protect people, pollinators, and the planet. Take action: Demand Lowe’s and Home Depot remove Roundup from store shelves immediately! [Sign Now]( Bayer-Monsanto’s toxic weedkiller Roundup puts people and pollinators at risk. Glyphosate has been linked to increased risk of cancer. A jury ordered Bayer to pay $2 billion to a couple who used glyphosate on their lawn for decades. Both suffered from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Bayer faces more than 100,000 similar lawsuits. Bayer-Monsanto finally saw the writing on the wall last week -- but it won’t act for another two years. And when glyphosate is removed, it is likely it will just be replaced with something equally as toxic. Every day Roundup remains on store shelves, it puts people and pollinators at risk. Tell Home Depot and Lowe’s to stop selling Roundup now. [Sign Now]( Roundup has also contributed to monarch butterfly declines. The monarch population in North America has declined by 90% in the past 20 years alone -- while Roundup use skyrocketed. Monarch butterflies could vanish within our lifetimes if we don’t take steps to protect them -- like removing Roundup from store shelves. And glyphosate -- the main ingredient in Bayer-Monsanto’s Roundup -- has been found to harm or kill 93% of endangered species. Bees, monarchs, and other endangered species cannot wait. Lowe’s and Home Depot can play a vital role to protect wildlife by pulling Roundup from store shelves. But the companies need to hear from concerned activists like you, Friend. Use your voice -- help protect bees, butterflies, and endangered species from Roundup!
