“Agent Orange” corn?

Dear Friend,

Ready for what’s next from Dow Chemicals? GE crops modified to be resistant to the herbicide that’s a main ingredient in Agent Orange!

The herbicide, 2,4-D, is linked to cancer, reproductive problems, and Parkinson’s and is banned entirely in parts of Canada and Europe. And yet the USDA seems ready to approve the new GMO Corn and Soybeans, unleashing a major increase in the use of 2,4-D.

Now, the EPA is considering stepping in to stop or restrict the application of 2,4-D, which would be a major blow to Dow’s Agent Orange veggies.

Join me in urging the EPA to reject Dow’s plans to spray this incredibly toxic herbicide. Submit a comment here:
