Dear Friends,

Together, we've worked for over 5 years to stop the use of cancer-causing

methyl iodide, called by scientists " one of the most toxic chemicals on

earth. " Last week, that work paid off with two big breaks.

First, the agency head who ignored her own scientists to approve methyl

iodide for use in California, -Ann Warmerdam, resigned and went to work

for Clorox. At least this revolving door is an exit.

Second, U.S. EPA is reconsidering its decision on methyl iodide - despite

intense pressure from Arysta, the largest private pesticide company in the

world, to keep it on the market. On March 17, the agency opened public

comment on our legal petition to end all uses of this pesticide, nationwide.

The science is clear: this pesticide is too toxic to be used safely. But the

pesticide industry will keep weighing in. We need your voice at the table.

Now.

Let's

<http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2 & c=u3Bj5Zk%2BGPhdX9Zj%2

BPs18kl5UAOliXOC> seize the opportunity> Sign this petition to U.S. EPA,

urging Administrator to follow the science, and do the right

thing.

Our asks:

* End all uses of methyl iodide immediately. Don't let the pesticide

industry override science. An 11th Hour Pesticide, methyl iodide was ushered

in during the final moments of the Bush Administration nationally, and the

Schwarzenegger administration in California - despite warnings from

government scientists and Nobel laureates. Methyl iodide is a known

carcinogen, and linked to late-term miscarriages and neurological disorders.

* Support innovative farmers and scientists in green agriculture. U.S.

EPA should initiate agreements with the USDA and President Obama to maintain

funding for green payments to farmers to grow food without toxic chemicals

like methyl iodide. These farmers steward the land and support strong rural

economies.

Thank you for taking action. You are an important part of an on-going effort

to end undue corporate influence on science and government, and to push for

safe, fair and green food systems.
