This is a good first step, but don’t be fooled by this headline-grab:<strong> it won’t affect the 280+ million pounds applied annually in U.S. agriculture </strong>and by professional landscapers. </p>
<p style="text-align:left;color:#222222;font-family:Helvetica;font-size:14px;font-weight:normal;margin:10px 0;padding:0;line-height:150%">With Bayer, Syngenta, Chemours, and EPA in our backyard, North Carolina is a home base for chemical manufacturers that continue to have outsized influence on the market and on regulatory processes meant to protect our health and environment. This month the Intercept reported that <a href="https://toxicfreenc.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=25b0d4af9aa3469c4e0d4fde1&id=d498634844&e=c367cf947a" style="color:#007c89;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline" target="_blank">four whistleblower scientists at EPA</a> revealed they were pressured by managers to downplay risks and sign off on chemical safety despite evidence of harm. High-priority “hair on fire” decisions were pushed through the assessment process at the urging of manufacturers eager to get their products to market. <br>
<br>
<strong><u>It shouldn’t be this way</u>. We need an EPA that protects our community from the risks of toxic chemicals</strong>. We need comprehensive pesticide reform that centers precaution and considers the safety of everyone <u>before</u> products are brought to market. Toxic Free NC continues to press EPA for accountability to its protective responsibilities and we continue to fight for a safer and more just North Carolina. <u>Thank you for joining us in this movement</u>.</p>
