@biologicaldiversity.orgBecause of well-documented health concerns, #atrazine has been banned in more than 60 countries.
Yet the EPA is in the process of reapproving the use of this dangerous #pesticide in the US for at least another 15 years.

@bigearthdata.ai@biologicaldiversity.orgThe #EPA is basically allowing industry to pick the ways that those problems are mitigated moving forward.
They're offering ‘choose your own regulation’, where #pesticide companies get to tell the EPA how to regulate their products.
@paneurope.bsky.socialTogether with @foodwatchde.bsky.social, @inkota.bsky.social & @umweltinstitut.org, @pangermany.bsky.social handed over 145,000 signatures opposing toxic double standards in the #pesticide trade. The EU must finally honour its pledge and put an end to the export of banned pesticides!
