THIRD TIME'S A CHARM? Not if we can help it.
In the last several months, we alerted you to Bayer-Monsanto and BASF’s new requests for EPA approval of dicamba herbicide. These “new use” applications by the companies come on the heels of two federal court orders to ban dicamba. Now, Syngenta, the third chemical corporation producing dicamba, is also asking the EPA to rubber-stamp their “new use” application. Syngenta, like Bayer-Monsanto and BASF, is trying to circumvent the court-ordered bans by submitting “new use” applications to the EPA. Dicamba is a carcinogenic, ultra-volatile herbicide that can drift for miles beyond its area of direct application. No label changes or re-formulations will change this. Eight years of dicamba use on dicamba-tolerant GMO crops show us there is no way to use this toxic herbicide without causing immeasurable collateral damage and harm. Even Richard Coy’s bees were harmed. Dicamba drift destroyed all the plants that his bees needed to survive.
Unless you raise your voice, the EPA may, once again, bend to Syngenta, BASF and Bayer-Monsanto. Tell the EPA: Not only must the Agency reject Syngenta’s application, but dicamba must be banned outright once and for all. tinyurl.com/DicambaSyngenta
