*[Enwl-eng] Toxic pesticides from farms are seeping into drinking water, poisoning children and families

[ecology]

                        Cancer is affecting people of all ages across the 
state, and the rates of cancer are increasing.

Pesticides. Sign the Petition to Ban Pesticides Now!

                        Scientists have been warning for decades about the 
dangers of pesticide use — and now the damage has become only too obvious. 
In agricultural areas of Iowa, a U.S. state known for its vast farming 
industry, cancer is now "everywhere."

                        The American Cancer Society is calling this a cancer 
"crisis." Out of all U.S. states, Iowa's rate of cancer has been the 
second-highest for the last few years — and its rates are increasing.

                        Authorities are trying to blame alcohol consumption, 
but residents are tracing their increasing rates of cancer to the use of 
pesticides, including glyphosate or RoundUp by Monsanto, on farms all over 
the state. When these poisons are sprayed over crops, they go into the air, 
onto our food, and seep into the local water supply, harming local children 
and adults alike.

                        The World Health Organization classified glyphosate, 
a weed-killer, as probably carcinogenic back in 2015 — 10 years ago. 
Research has tied the use of many pesticides to a whole variety of illnesses 
and diseases, obviously including cancer, but not limited to this.

                        Most farming organizations are refusing to consider 
how their industry could be poisoning an entire state's worth of people. But 
we cannot abandon people who live in rural, country areas to this explosion 
of cancer just because corporate interests want us to look the other way.

                        Sign the petition to protect everyday people from 
poisoning by pesticide use! Don't let agricultural corporations' giant 
lobbying influence stop lawmakers from doing the right thing.

                        P.S. Around 87% of Iowa's land is used for farming. 
Most of the farms use pesticides. And now cancer is "everywhere." Sign the 
petition.
