In 20 days, California regulators will approvethe use of methyl iodide–a carcinogenic pesticide–unless we tell them not to.
Methyl iodide is so toxic that chemists use it to induce cancer cell growth in labs. Yet CA state regulators are about to approve the use of methyl iodide as a pesticide on strawberry fields and other crops. The verdict on methyl iodide will have national consequences. While it is currently legal in 47 states, the US Environmental Protection Agency has said that they will consider banning this toxic pesticide depending on what California does about it. Please send a message to CA state regulators and the EPA: Californians do not want methyl iodide, and neither does the rest of the country. Tell them to stop cancer where it starts and reject this dangerous chemical. The deadline is June 29th–act now!
