The No Spray Coalition against pesticides has issued a very strong statement rejecting President Trump’s recent executive order, which declared the production and use of glyphosate as critical to U.S. national security.
In 2007, the Coalition won its lawsuit against New York City’s spraying of Malathion to kill mosquitoes said to be the carriers of West Nile Virus. The City had applied massive doses of the pesticide.The settlement agreement raised the issue and stipulated a program limiting the dangers of glyphosate, which led to new regulations limiting the application of such chemicals in the environment.
And last month the grassroots healthy alternatives-to-pesticides coalition joined with GMO/Toxin Free USA, which authored the petition below; Beyond Pesticides; Organic Consumers Association; Greenpeace; Environmental Working Group; Center for Biological Diversity; and a slew of environmental and health organizations which have been fighting against the production and use of glyphosate for decades.
