Puntos de conversación importantes para cubrir en la reunión con el gobernador:

Le pedimos al Gobernador_______ que haga una orden ejecutiva para que nuestro estado use métodos seguros y orgánicos de Manejo Integral de Plagas (MIP) en paisajismo y agricultura como una prioridad y descontinúe el uso de herbicidas de glifosato y productos químicos tóxicos en (su estado).

Los motivos son:

Glyphosate is a carcinogen - IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) branch of WHO (World Health Organization) declared glyphosate a probable carcinogen- and CA EPA’s OEHHA (Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment) placed glyphosate on Prop 65 carcinogen list on julio 7, 2017. Thangprakaisang study showed glyphosate induced the growth of breast cancer cells in in-vitro at 1ppt (1 part per trillion is the equivalent of 1 drop in 22 olympic sized swimming pools).
There are nearly 1000 lawsuits pending against the manufacturers of glyphosate-based herbicides for non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. The above study shows a 50% increase of NHL when exposed to glyphosate herbicides.
Proven endocrine disruptor- which means it causes birth defects, damage to testes, sperm quality, sterility, infertility, sex hormone changes, developmental delays, and miscarriage. As quoted in Wikipedia -- "Endocrine disruptors are chemicals that can interfere with endocrine (or hormone) systems at certain doses. These disruptions can cause cancerous tumors, birth defects, and other developmental disorders. Any system in the body controlled by hormones can be derailed by hormone disruptors."
Patented antibiotic- meaning absorbed through drift, ingestion or contact it can destroy beneficial bacteria in our bodies and weaken the immune system. Studies have shown glyphosate can increase antibiotic resistance.
Glyphosate herbicides also act as a neurotoxin and can disrupt hormones which prevent addiction, depression, mental illness and acts of violence. Proven to be a neurotoxin: 20 + year study showed children who lived in areas where pesticides were sprayed had lowered IQ. Chemicals that cause neurotoxic damage contribute to mental disorders such as dementia, Alzheimer's, and autism.
Proven to cause non-alcoholic fatty liver disease at ultra-low levels in study by Antoniou et al.- According to the Liver Foundation 1 out of 10 Americans now have liver disease.
Se ha demostrado que el glifosato tiene un impacto negativo en la vida marina, como los peces y las ostras. El 90% de la escorrentía de pesticidas en nuestras vías fluviales proviene del uso urbano de glifosato en calles, aceras, parques y parques infantiles.
Glyphosate herbicides are not safe. Although the manufacturer and EPA claim that glyphosate herbicides are safe, and it would be understandable for the Governor to believe that they are, the fact is that the policy of the EPA is to only require safety testing of one ingredient in the pesticide, not the full formulation. So the products as they are used in our state have not been shown to be safe at any amount. To say that these pesticides are safe is scientifically unfounded. In fact, the other ingredients in the formulation have been proven to be 1000X more toxic than glyphosate alone.
The discovery process of a recent lawsuit against Monsanto showed that EPA employees colluded with Monsanto to cover up evidence of harm from glyphosate herbicides. The lead toxicologist at Monsanto was shown to have edited out data which suggested glyphosate may cause miscarriages.
Glyphosate has shown to bioaccumulate in the organs and bones of animals. This means even very small amounts of glyphosate can bioaccumulate and later cause harm.
Safe alternatives such as steam weed control, mulch, and organic regenerative farming techniques are available. Studies show organic regenerative agriculture can produce comparable to higher yields, improves soil quality, protects farm workers and consumers from toxins.

Hoy hemos traído algunos de los cientos de estudios que muestran el daño del glifosato e información sobre las alternativas para que el Gobernador y el personal lo revisen. Entendemos que el estado puede desconfiar de las alternativas, ya que inicialmente puede parecer que cuestan más, pero preguntamos esto:

¿Cuál es el costo del cáncer en nuestro estado? ¿Cuál es el costo para una familia que pierde un hijo por cáncer? ¿A un esposo que pierde a su esposa y madre por sus tres hijos?
¿Cuál es el costo de la pérdida de IQ, de infertilidad, de enfermedad hepática en (su estado)?
¿Cuál es el costo de la escuela por los días escolares perdidos y para nuestro estado por problemas de aprendizaje?
¿Cuál es el costo para los dueños de mascotas para que un perro con tumores se someta a una cirugía?
Or to the state to care for elderly with dementia?

Sugerimos que (su estado) no puede permitirse seguir usando herbicidas con un registro tan extenso de infligir daños a la vida humana y animal. Le preguntamos, ¿se comprometerá a emitir una orden ejecutiva para descontinuar el uso de glifosato y utilizar alternativas seguras en su lugar?
