Tell the EPA to ban the toxic herbicide paraquat

Tell the EPA & your lawmakers to ban the toxic herbicide paraquat.
Senator Cory Booker alongside 7 US senators & 47 representatives sent a letter to the EPA to ban Paraquat.
The lawmakers cited research that found paraquat is linked to an increase risk of developing Parkinson’s, lymphoma, thyroid cancer, and thyroid issues. Paraquat, created by Syngenta, is sprayed onto crops like cherries, almonds, apples, grapes, peanuts, and grains.
The EPA will issue a final verdict on the herbicide Paraquat by January 17th.

Irresponsible for the EPA to continually allow it's use? More like criminally negligent. We, as taxpayers, do not fund the EPA, nor any other governmental agency to protect corporate profits. They exist to protect people, not corporations.
