Support to become Pesticide and Herbicide free.

Glyphosate is the active ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide and many other commercially available weed killers. Due to the widespread adoption of genetically modified (GM) crops, glyphosate has become the most commonly used weed killer in the conventional farming industry. GM glyphosate-resistant crops are now grown on more than 175 million acres in the United States and more than 440 million acres worldwide. Each year, more than 300 million pounds of glyphosate-based herbicides are sprayed on American food crops, lawns, and gardens. Recently, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) declared glyphosate as a “probable carcinogen.” As more health risks associated with glyphosate exposure start to emerge, the European Union remains uncertain whether it will renew its authorization of glyphosate in commercial products in Europe. Furthermore, recent safety testing has shown that glyphosate residues can cause harm to human health, even at ultra-low levels. While the evidence is clear, the U.S. authorities, unfortunately, keep allowing this dangerous toxin to end up in our food chain at worrying levels. Safety testing of glyphosate residues in Roundup-sprayed crops is often ignored and unreliable. While Monsanto has continuously claimed that Roundup is harmless to our health, multiple studies are painting a different picture. Regular exposure to glyphosate has been linked to chronic conditions such as autism, Crohn’s disease, allergies, depression, cancer, multiple sclerosis, and infertility.

Glyphosate found in many processed foods Anresco Laboratories in San Francisco, an FDA-registered food safety lab, recently conducted their own research to see whether glyphosate can be found in commonly consumed processed foods. And their tests revealed the worst. Previous research has shown that glyphosate or glyphosate residues of only 0.05 parts per billion (ppb) can cause d

There are no benefits to spraying. Only the fallout of health and wellness for every living thing.

Stop the spraying of poisons!

Please stop the use of pesticides and herbicides in San Clemente!

Please stop! There is no need to spray harmful toxins on our communities. These poisons are bad for humans and kill our pollinators. We can't live without them!

The rate of pediatric cancer in our community is very high. My 8 year old son just finished 3 years, 3 months of daily chemo. No child or family should endure this. Make our city safe. We are poisoning our residents, pollinators and pets. Time to wake up

My neighbor sprayed their huge empty lot with Round-up. I'm very concerned what high concentration saturating his lot that it will run off into the storm drain and has poisoned the eco-life under the soil. Burrowing Owls lived there,

Seriously! Stop spraying toxins. For such a 'health conscious' city the long term ramifications for human health and our sea life needs to be considered.

Can't wait to see more petitions like this for San Clemente. We need one to ban the OC Saver (littering problem) AND get the city to stop using gas powered blowers on the beach to blow sand off of the asphalt at the pier!

Gladly signing this list. Don't believe Roundup should be sprayed anywhere, especially in beautiful San Clemente.

If Irvine can do it, so should we!
