Closed Ban synthetic pesticides and herbicides

Closed on

Pesticides and herbicides are poisons that could destroy all living things & have catastrophic consequences for our health. We no longer recognize our country. A third of birds have died in the past 15 years, half of our butterflies. Pollinators are disappearing.

Read silent spring by Rachel Carson.
They use glyphosate acid which is suspected to cause cancer, Parkinson's, infertility and birth defects. Several cases of the latter in France.
Nous voulons des coquelicots in France are trying to get them banned.
Monsanto, who make glyphosate pesticides, have been sued and lost by users getting cancer through use of their glyphosate pesticides.
Let's ban them and save our countryside, animals and ourselves.
