Tell EPA, USDA and President Obama to Stop Dow
Chemical's "Agent Orange" Crops
The EPA has just opened a public comment
period on the approval of the use of toxic 2,4-D specifically for
Dow's GE corn and soybeans. EPA is timing their approval process with
that of USDA, with both agencies proposing approval of the Dow Agent
Orange, GE crop system.
Dow Chemical, the same company that brought us Dursban, Napalm, and
Agent Orange, is now in the food business and is pushing for an
unprecedented government approval: genetically engineered (GE)
versions of corn, soybeans and cotton that are designed to survive
repeated dousing with 2,4-D, half of the highly toxic chemical mixture
Agent Orange.
Agent Orange was the chemical defoliant used by the U.S. in Vietnam,
and it caused lasting environmental damage as well as many serious
medical conditions in both American veterans and the Vietnamese.
Tell EPA, USDA, and President Obama to stop Dow Chemical's "Agent
Orange" crops!
