Stop the Use of Glyphosate (Roundup) Herbicide in Portland's Public Green Spaces

The website revbilly.com has released a map of areas where the City of Portland Parks Department has used Monsanto's Roundup® Herbicide. The result is a disturbing picture of our beloved city covered in toxic chemicals.

 

Glyphosate exposure (the herbicide used in Roundup®) has been linked to liver and kidney dysfunction, greatly increased risk of cancer, shortened lifespan, inflammatory bowel diseases, Crohn’s disease, chronic diarrhea, colitis, digestive issues, obesity, autism, Alzheimer’s disease, depression, Parkinson’s disease, leaky gut syndrome, multiple sclerosis, ADHD, violent impulsive behavior, suicide, infertility, preeclampsia, late-pregnancy spontaneous abortion, multiple myeloma, cardiovascular disease, cachexia, and ALS.

Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup® "may in fact be the most biologically disruptive chemical in our environment." Please sign this petition asking the Portland Parks Department to stop using Roundup!
