The United States sprays 80 million pounds of Atrazine on our crops yearly. It has been proven that it is so harmful to fish, anphibians and humans alike, that the European Union banned the harmful pesticide in 2004.
Earth is facing its largest mass extinction since the disappearance of the dinosaurs, with up to half of the world's 6,000 amphibian species in danger of extinction and pesticides are a primary contributing factor, as they inevitably end up in the water bodies where amphibians live and breed.
We ask the Environmental Protection Agency to ban the use Altrazine in the United States.
