Comments on: Take Action: Public Comment Needed on EPA’s Strategic Plan http://www.beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/?p=3768 News on pesticide science, policy and activism Thu, 16 May 2013 16:03:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Rose Marie Raccioppi http://www.beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/?p=3768#comment-89813 Rose Marie Raccioppi Tue, 22 Jun 2010 18:42:34 +0000 http://www.beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/?p=3768#comment-89813 The USA needs to work toward banning all toxic pesticides/ herbicides within the next few years. This goal can be reached. There are alternatives to toxic pesticides/ herbicides, so there is no excuse to continue to harm the health of Americans and our environment.

Our governments needs to stand up for its people and stop being slaves to the pesticide corporations. The ongoing disaster in the Gulf needs to be a wake-up call to our government. Our government must stop putting the profits of corporations before the health and safety of Americans and our environment.

Our government needs to stop subsidizing factory farms and farms that use toxic pesticides/ herbicides. If any farmers should receive subsidies, it is the small organic farmers that are doing the right thing for our country.

EPA, I urge you to be responsible, be intelligent, and put the health of Americans and our environment first. It is pathetic that our country continues to lag so far beyond Europe on these issues. We should be leading in innovation, not caught in the past, with a government enslaved to the pesticide corporations and factory farms.
