<P><STRONG>One of Europe’s best-selling pesticides, Paraquat, is so
dangerous that just one sip can be lethal.</STRONG> Chronic
exposure, even at low doses, can cause Parkinson’s disease.</P>
<P>It’s banned in Europe, but the company behind it, Syngenta, is
<STRONG>exporting the deadly chemical to countries all over the
world.</STRONG></P>
<P>Now the European Union is exploring a ban of these harmful
chemical exports, and is accepting public comments for a few more
days.</P>
<P><STRONG>This is our chance to show the EU that people all over

chemical exports </A></P>
<P><STRONG>The risks of these chemicals are extreme:</STRONG> brain
damage in children, reproductive and hormonal disorders, and cancer.
They also poison the water, killing fish and decimating
honeybee populations critical to food production. </P>
<P>From Morocco to Costa Rica, South Africa to Lebanon — Europe is
<EM>knowingly</EM> exporting loads of harmful chemicals that the EU
has deemed too dangerous for Europeans. <STRONG>So what makes it
acceptable for non-Europeans? </STRONG></P>
<P>But Europeans aren't even being spared. The countries where
Europe exports these chemicals to are major food producers. So while
these pesticides aren't used on crops grown in Europe, they are
still making their way back to Europeans. </P>
<P><STRONG>Companies like Bayer and Syngenta are fighting tooth and
nail to stop regulation of these exports</STRONG> — even arguing a
case that an exports ban is unconstitutional in France. They
lost. </P>
<P>They might be powerful companies, but momentum is on our side,
and we have a key opportunity now to act. <STRONG>Add your name and
share widely. </STRONG></P>
