Subject: EPA failed. Time for California to step up.

Dear Ann,

The UFW created a petition to Brian Leahy,  Director, CA Department of Pesticide Regulations (DPR) which says:

"Just this month, on August 8th, the Kern County officials confirmed that one of the pesticides in May’s major drift incident was chlorpyrifos. As many as 37 in a crew of 48 cabbage workers began feeling ill when the pesticides drifted a half-mile from where they were applied. At least 5 workers received medical attention.

The US EPA reversed their proposed ban of chlorpyrifos on all food crops despite the incredibly solid body of scientific evidence and clear links to human health harms — especially for kids.

The California Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) needs to ban this incredibly harmful pesticide and provide leadership for the nation where the federal government has failed. "

Si Se Puede!!!
