“Probably carcinogenic”

19 May 2016 by kate Leave a Comment

Have you seen Monsanto weedkiller in your local garden centre? You might have noticed the label looking a little different.

Monsanto’s flagship weedkiller, Roundup, is made from a chemical called glyphosate that the World Health Organisation has found to probably cause cancer. Yet its use is now so widespread that traces are found in one out of every three loaves of bread in the UK. via http://monsanto.globaljustice.org.uk/

So Global Justice has asked activists to relabel the packages they find. You can find some media coverage below:

The Herald Scotland

Horticulture Week

Ethical Consumer

Get invovled at http://monsanto.globaljustice.org.uk/ and if you’re in the Oxford area why not pop in to one of our meetings? New members always welcome!

We want to see a world where ordinary people control the resources they need to live a decent life, rather than corporations and the super rich calling the shots.
