IMPORTANT CONSUMER ALERT!!!!
GOVERNMENT SLASHES PESTICIDE REPORTING LAWS
Bowing to pressure from
the agro-toxics industry, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced May 21
that it plans to eliminate pesticide reporting at National Agricultural Statistics
Service (NASS). The program has tracked national pesticide use and provided critical
information for consumer groups, scientists, farmers and environmental groups
monitoring pesticide use and hazards. NASS' elimination of the Agricultural
Chemical Use Database is a direct attack on consumers and farmworkers' Right to
Know about pesticide residues and food safety. Pesticide reporting has
become particularly important in the last ten years with Genetically Engineered
crops requiring more and more pesticides. Please
contact USDA Secretary Ed Schafer and your Congressperson today.
