<P>Vladimir,</P>
<P><B>Pesticide giants use toxic “forever chemicals” in their
products – and this poison is being sprayed ALL over our
food!</B></P>
<P>These chemicals are terrifying because once they’re in our
bodies, they <I>never</I> break down, <B>causing
cancer, infertility, birth defects, </B>and more.</P>
<P>And it’s only getting worse. In the EU, the amount of fruit and
vegetables polluted by these chemicals (called PFAS) TRIPLED in just
ten years.</P>
<P><B>But right now we have a chance to push for a ban on the use of
PFAS pesticides in the EU.</B></P>
<P>Our partners are gearing up to test <I>hundreds</I> of
vegetables in stores across Europe to expose this chemical scandal.
But they’re asking for help so they can get started right away. With
all of us chipping in, <B>we could fund these important tests,
then plaster the results in the media ahead of a major EU meeting in
May</B> – and finally force officials to act!</P>
<P><B>Vladimir, Trump is trying to dismantle crucial protections
against these poisons </B>so it’s more important than ever that
we ramp up pressure on lawmakers everywhere to fight back against
toxic chemicals.</P>
<P><B>Can you chip in to help?</B></P>

<P>PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are used in all kinds
of products we use every day—from raincoats to frying pans—because
they help make things water, stain, and grease-resistant. But that’s
not all.</P>
<P><B>Pesticide giants are now using PFAS in their formulations,</B>
and as a result, fruit and vegetables across Europe are increasingly
contaminated with toxic pesticide residues.</P>
<P>Delicious vegetables like cucumbers, peppers, and potatoes are
among the most contaminated. And many of them are believed to
contain three <I>different</I> PFAS pesticides in a single
sample.</P>
<P>It's a public health nightmare because PFAS are extremely toxic
even at low levels. <B>Yet our governments have STILL failed to ban
their use in pesticides that drench our crops every day.</B></P>
<P>Now we can change that.</P>
<P>Our friends at Pesticide Action Network Europe are ready to
spring into action, testing 300 fruits and vegetables sold in shops
around Europe for traces of PFAS. With all of us chipping in, <B>we
could help them start these tests right away, then expose this
scandal ahead of a major EU meeting to finally FORCE our governments
to take action. </B>Then, we’ll keep going to protect everyone
everywhere from toxic chemicals.</P>
<P><B>All we need to do is raise the funds to make it happen. Can
you chip in to help?</B></P>
