Tell Lowe's and Home Depot: Give Monarchs a Roundup-Free World
As the use of the cancer-causing Roundup® pesticide has skyrocketed, The Monarch butterfly population in North America has declined by 90% in the past 20 years. That's because glyphosate-based pesticides like Roundup® kill milkweed, the Monarch caterpillar's only host plant.
That's why we're asking Home Depot and Lowe's to give Monarch butterflies the gift of a Roundup®-free world this holiday season. Tell Lowe's and Home Depot to stop selling Roundup®!
U.S farmland is 48 times more toxic to pollinators than it was 25 years ago
The Protecting America's Children from Toxic Pesticides Act would offer protections against dangerous pesticides, protect the right of farmworkers to report pesticide injury, and open a petition process that empowers anyone in the U.S. to ask EPA to re-review of a pesticide.

Let's get rid of factory farms by 2040
The Farm System Reform Act would put a moratorium on new industrial factory farms that polite our environment and phrase out all factory farms by 2040.
It would also crack down on meatpacking monopolies, and help independent farmers and ranchers transition to sustainable, humane practices.
Tell your representatives in Congress to co-sponsor the Farm System Reform Act!

Tell Home Depot and Lowes to Protect Public Health!
The World Health Organization's cancer authorities have found that glyphosate is a probable human carcinogen. One study of farmers showed that those most highly exposed to it had a 41% increased cancer risk.
Bayer-Monsanto continues to deny the science and keeps selling this toxic pesticide. But if we can pressure home and garden stores like Lowe's and Home Depot to stop selling Roundup®, it could push Bayer-Monsanto to phase out this harmful chemical.
Protect public health: Tell Home Depot and Lowes to stop selling Roundup®!
Tell Congress to Support the Saving America's Pollinators Act!

Tell Tillamook that you want it to drop Big Dairy for good.
