BAN ROUNDUP

Dear California State Assemblymember,

Recent research, including some done by the World Health Organization and the state of California, has linked glyphosate, the main chemical ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup, to serious health hazards, including cancer. Despite the potential public health risks, 26 million pounds of Roundup are sprayed on public parks, playgrounds, schools and gardens across the country every year.

We should not be using a product that may pose a serious threat to our health. I urge you to pass AB 916 to ban the use of glyphosate on public grounds for five years.

Sincerely,
