Why this petition matters

Started by Evan Wells

 

Round Up which contains the active ingredient Glyphosates has been proven to cause: Infertility, Kidney disease, Birth defects, Severe gastrointestinal ailments, Parkinson’s Disease, Cancer, Nervous system damage. Round up is owned by Bayer (who recently bought Monsanto who used to previously manufacture the product). Round Up and glyphosates have been banned across the world due to its side effects on all living things. The weed killer is used everywhere, from people's backyard to councils using it on footpaths and public parks.

It has been proven that regulators failed to take safety concerns into account when clearing the widely used herbicide. Bunnings is one of the largest stockists of the weed killer in the country. If bunnings bans the poison it is likely the government will start to listen. Help me stop them from spreading poison everywhere.
