To all those who stand up for our environment.

Dear friends, without knowing it, we are exposed to a plant toxin that is potentially carcinogenic. It is sprayed so extensively that studies have even detected it in our blood. But now glyphosate could be banned for the very first time - THANKS TO OUR MASSIVE CAMPAIGN!!! For a year now, Monsanto's lobby has been pushing the EU to re-approve the poison. And each time Avaazers have gotten in the way. Now it's time for the final vote and the chemical giants are pulling out all the stops. But public pressure knocks them out of the race: Against all expectations, it actually looks like we might win. We only have four days left! Sign the urgent petition now - if we all raise our voices now, we could ban this poison from the shelves. Every vote counts - our signature count will be displayed on a screen outside the meeting. https://secure.avaaz.org/de/stop_glyphosate_loc_eu_de/?tPjxddb We are all at risk, and not just health-wise: industrial agriculture produces a third of all greenhouse gases and destroys ecosystems that sustain life on earth. The sooner we phase out glyphosate, the better. If we seize the moment, our movement can have a significant impact on one of the biggest issues of our time. The re-approval of glyphosate was initially supposed to be decided behind closed doors as a mere formality. But our huge petition, tens of thousands of calls, emails and tweets to politicians in Europe and all the protests have helped to make the impossible possible. Now it's down to the wire! But we are dealing with one of the most powerful corporations in the world. Glyphosate is the chemical cornerstone of Monsanto's empire. It brings in billions every year. That's why we are all called upon to sign more petitions than ever to demand that the precautionary principle prevails instead of the profit principle.
Join in now and spread the word about the campaign:

If we win in Europe, we will not only set the global course for glyphosate, but also challenge the absurd system that allows these chemicals to be used. We would also counter the excessive power of corporations over our democracy. This is how we start to change the future of our food worldwide. This is our chance to turn the tide. Let's get started! With hope and determination, Bert, Pascal, Alice, Lisa, Camille, Luca, Antonia and the whole Avaaz team
