Ban Dangerous Pesticides in Falmouth, Cornwall

September 2016: Italy became the 9th country to place a ban on Glyphosate in all public spaces.
Why is the UK government turning a blind eye to this dangerous chemical that is used in our children's spaces and at times directly outside people's front doors by our councils?

This is the link to the WHO report.
It states Glyphosate has been re-classified as a 2A Carcinogen.
This chemical which now "Probably Causes Cancer" also damages the DNA and chromosomes of those who reside near a spray area.
Evidence of a link to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is also apparent.
As testing on human beings is not ethical, the evidence is "limited" due to being based on the medical files of humans and animal testing.

I watched a homeless man in Falmouth today.
People were busying past him, getting on with their lives and not giving him a second glance.
Please stop for a moment and consider the homeless.
While they sit in doorways and lie on streets, council workers apply toxic weedkiller around them.
They have nowhere to go, nowhere to escape to.
This chemical is associated with kidney and liver damage, and is a probable carcinogen.
Once patented as an antibiotic, glyphosate also affects the human gastrointestinal tract.

Please take a moment to write to your MP, stating you don't want toxic glyphosate used in public spaces.

If you haven't noticed already, Falmouth has been relatively doused in glyphosate the last couple of weeks. It's not just the streets and verges getting spritzed, spray evidence is now outside peoples homes, near the beaches, outside the doctors surgeries, outside and inside the grounds of some schools.
It's hard to find anywhere that's not been sprayed.
If you've noticed any breathing issues lately, please notify your doctor and let them know that glyphosate is being sprayed everywhere. Remember this chemical is BANNED in many countries.
