Over 1mn sign petition to ban Monsanto’s weed killer in EU over cancer fears
More than a million people have signed a petition demanding that the European Union ban glyphosate, the main ingredient in Monsanto's Roundup weed killer, over fears it causes cancer.
"In less than five months, more than one million EU citizens have joined our call for a glyphosate ban," said David Schwartz, coordinator at the European Citizens Initiative, which is behind the petition, as quoted by AFP.
"European citizens aren't fooled by the pesticide industry's lobbying efforts or the faulty science it's peddling," he said.
