Ban the use of Roundup and Roundup-ready plants in Vermont
Research has shown that the use of glyphosates and neonicotinoids are responsible for the rapid decline of honey bees and monarchs. Help make Vermont a Roundup-free state through education and making our voices heard.
Why is this important?
If we don't act now, we will continue to wreak havoc on our food supply by destroying the micro-organisms and worms in the soil, eliminating milkweed (monarch's food supply) and potentially losing our pollinators through poisoning of our soils in general. There has been extensive research now which is available to everyone that may not realize the importance of this.
