More than one billion pounds of pesticides are sprayed in North America every year. Many have been linked to cancer and other negative health impacts. But what about the animals? The same chemicals that harm us are affecting our wildlife -- including 119 endangered species!
It's been studied many times by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), along with many scientific studies. Pesticides have negative health impacts on humans and animals. But the EPA holds a responsibility to protect our environment, including endangered animals like Florida panthers, black-voted ferrets, arroyo toads, Indiana bats and 100 more!
The EPA has neglected its duty to protect us and our animal friends. Despite irrefutable science, the EPA continues to approve and allow pesticide use in our country.
Sign the petition to call on the EPA to uphold its duty to protect endangered animals. We can't let toxic chemicals drive over 100 animals into extinction!
