The EPA must ban Roundup and take it off the shelves. You must also require that the full formulation of ALL Pesticides and herbicides is safety tested, not just one ingredient! A new study released April 6, 2021, in the Journal of Applied Ecology reveals that Roundup, the most widely used herbicide globally and the focus of recent lawsuits regarding non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, is not just a weedkiller but a bee killer as well. This study is monumental because the decline of bee populations has been drastically declining since Roundup was introduced to our agriculture, landscaping industries, and backyard gardening in the late 1970s. In the US, the number of honey-bee colonies dropped from 6 million in 1947 to just 2.5 million in 2014. In 2015, Monsanto made nearly $4.76 billion in sales and $1.9 billion in gross profits from herbicide products, mostly Roundup. Monsanto has long claimed that Roundup does not harm bees. This new study tested the mortality effects of spraying the world's most popular herbicide brand (Roundup®) directly onto bumblebees at label recommended use levels. The results showed that 94% died when exposed to Roundup® Ready‐To‐Use® and 96% died when exposed to Roundup® No Glyphosate. The scientists point out that their results show that it is the co-formulants in the product that are more toxic to bees than glyphosate alone. The EPA currently only requires safety testing on one declared “active” ingredient in a pesticide or herbicide (in this case, glyphosate). This policy is inadequate for safety regulating the co-formulants ( many petroleum-based chemicals) that are clearly “active” and shown to be toxic. The authors Edward A. Straw, Edward N. Carpentier, Mark J. F. Brown, state, “These mortality results demonstrate that Roundup® products pose a significant hazard to bees in both agricultural and urban systems and that exposure of bees to them should be limited.” They call for “label guidelines for all pesticides be altered to explicitly prohibit application to plants when bees are likely to be foraging on them.” However, as bee flight and foraging patterns cannot be controlled, drift can occur for miles, and pesticides accumulate in the rain, to restrict exposure to bees, the use of Roundup must clearly be discontinued. The authors also say, “ As current regulatory topical exposure toxicity testing inadequately assesses toxicity of herbicide products, we call for pesticide companies to release the full list of ingredients for each pesticide formulation, as lack of access to this information hampers research to determine safe exposure levels for beneficial insects in agroecosystems.” Moms Across America adds on to this call for full disclosure of ingredients by requesting that the full formulation of all pesticides and herbicides are also regulated for safety. Accurate EPA analysis for approval would require long-term independent studies on the full formulations of all pesticides and herbicide products with blood analysis on both genders of adults and larvae or fetuses for not only toxicity but also harm to endocrine systems. Between October 2018 and April 2019, about 40% of US honey bee colonies died, according to research from the University of Maryland. At this rate, we are facing bee extinction in a few years, at most, unless policy change happens now. Every third bite of food humans eat requires pollination. With severe weather increasingly threatening agriculture production, farmers and landscapers must not use unnecessary chemicals that further decrease food production by killing bees. Around the world, the movement to adopt organic regenerative farming practices is increasing and demonstrating that farming without the use of harmful agrochemicals is productive, increases water retention, raises organic matter and nutrients in the soil, decreases erosion, and reduces plant pests naturally. The EPA must take Immediate action to revoke the license of glyphosate herbicides and ensure safety for all pollinators, insects, wildlife, and human life on earth. The science shows that we simply cannot afford to allow the use of Roundup to continue. Mr. Reagan, you have an opportunity to do the right thing for life on earth. It is imperative that the EPA revokes the license of glyphosate herbicides immediately, recalls Roundup from the shelves, and requires that all pesticides and herbicides undergo full formulation, long-term, independent safety testing.

Will this new administration protect the future of the human race? Glyphosate herbicides have been shown to be harmful to babies, pets, farmworkers, and future generations.

The EPA has a history of staffers that have been colluding with Monsanto. It is time for the EPA to stop protecting Bayer/Monsanto and protect our bees and food security instead, Glyphosate herbicides have been shown to be harmful to babies, pets, farmworkers, and future generations. A study released April 6, 2021, in the Journal of Applied Ecology reveals that Roundup, the most widely used herbicide globally and the focus of recent lawsuits regarding non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, is not just a weedkiller but a bee killer as well. Without bees, the human race would face starvation. The EPA policy to require testing only for one ingredient in agrochemicals is ludicrous, unscientific and unsafe. This study is monumental because the decline of bee populations has been drastically declining since Roundup was introduced to our agriculture, landscaping industries, and backyard gardening in the late 1970s. In the US, the number of honey-bee colonies dropped from 6 million in 1947 to just 2.5 million in 2014. In 2015, Monsanto made nearly $4.76 billion in sales and $1.9 billion in gross profits from herbicide products, mostly Roundup. Monsanto has long claimed that Roundup does not harm bees. This new study tested the mortality effects of spraying the world's most popular herbicide brand (Roundup®) directly onto bumblebees at label recommended use levels. The results showed that 94% died when exposed to Roundup® Ready‐To‐Use® and 96% died when exposed to Roundup® No Glyphosate. The scientists point out that their results show that it is the co-formulants in the product that are more toxic to bees than glyphosate alone. The EPA currently only requires safety testing on one declared “active” ingredient in a pesticide or herbicide (in this case, glyphosate). This policy is inadequate for safety regulating the co-formulants ( many petroleum-based chemicals) that are clearly “active” and shown to be toxic. The authors Edward A. Straw, Edward N. Carpentier, Mark J. F.

I am writing to insist that the EPA takes immediate action to revoke the license of glyphosate. 40 countries around the world have banned or restricted glyphosate due to its harmful effects on farmworkers, babies, animals and according to new studies, bees. We have done nothing. Without bees, humans will face starvation. And continuing to harm our babies, pets, wildlife, soil, and future generations simply does not work for our country. am asking you to take bold action NOW and have the license for glyphosate revoked. In addition, the EPA policy MUST be changed to require extensive, long-term safety studies with blood analysis by independent parties of ALL Ingredients ( not just one) for the approval of all agrochemicals. Our current regulatory process is not founded on sound science and must be changed.
