Ban Roundup

Dear Councilmember,

Recent research, including some done by the World Health Organization and the state of California, has linked chemicals in Monsanto's Roundup to serious health hazards, including cancer. Despite the potential public health risks, 26 million pounds of Roundup are sprayed on public parks, playgrounds, schools and gardens across the country every year - including in our community.

We should not be using a product in our community that may pose a serious threat to our health. Therefore, I urge you to support a local ban on the use of Roundup unless and until it's proven safe.

Sincerely,
