\"\"(Beyond Pesticides<\/em>, August 15, 2018) The recent court ruling awarding $289 million in compensatory and punitive damages to a groundskeeper after he contracted cancer while working with Monsanto\u2019s Roundup (glyphosate) is having a ripple effect around the globe. In light of the decision, the environmental group Greenpeace is calling on the Australian government to suspend the sale of Roundup. Meanwhile, German lawmakers are eager to see glyphosate banned.<\/p>\n

A California jury found Monsanto liable in a lawsuit<\/a> filed by a man who worked as as groundskeeper and used the company\u2019s glyphosate-based herbicide, which he proved caused his cancer. The jury found that Monsanto\u00a0\u201cknew for decades\u201d the product was potentially dangerous and acted \u201cwith malice or oppression\u201d by failing to warn Johnson of the risks.<\/p>\n

Now Greenpeace is calling on the Australian government to take \u201curgent action\u201d to suspend the sale of the weedkiller. \u201cWe need to be urgently exercising the precautionary principle,\u201d said Jamie Hanson, Greenpeace\u2019s head of campaigns. \u201cUse of this dangerous product should be severely restricted.<\/p>\n

In Australia, the U.S. court decision sent shares of Australian pesticide-maker, Nufarm Ltd, tumbling almost 17 percent to a more than two-year low. Analysts estimate Nufarm earns about a fifth of its revenue from products containing glyphosate, the world\u2019s most widely-used herbicide. Shares of Germany\u2019s Bayer, who now owns Monsanto despite\u00a0strong voices of opposition from grassroots advocates<\/a><\/strong>, also fell more than 10 percent. And now a spokesman for the German environment ministry said Germany aims to end the use of glyphosate-based pesticide products during the current legislative period which ends in three years. Meanwhile, the UK hardware chain, Homebase, announced\u00a0it would review its sale of Roundup<\/a>\u00a0in the wake of the court decision.<\/p>\n

In 2015, the World Health Organization\u2019s (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified glyphosate as a \u201cprobable human carcinogen.<\/a><\/strong>\u201d Since then, Monsanto has been hard at work trying to undermine findings that show its flagship product, glyphosate, is anything other than \u201csafe.\u201d However, its attempts to\u00a0unduly influence<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and undermine scientific research and\u00a0government review<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0of its product has been disclosed widely in the press. Concerns about cancer are compounded when tests continue to detect glyphosate is common foods. Glyphosate levels were found in Cheerios, Pita Chips, and in breast\u00a0milk<\/a><\/strong>, \u00a0German beers<\/a><\/strong>, \u00a0feminine hygiene products<\/a><\/strong>, and bread, as well as in nearly 100% of Germans tested. In The U.S. public interest, food safety, and environmental organizations have been calling on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to ban glyphosate.<\/p>\n

While federal oversight and regulation lag behind, environmental groups, like Beyond Pesticides, are urging localities to restrict or ban the use of glyphosate and other unnecessary toxic pesticides.

The founders, who established Beyond Pesticides (originally as National Coalition Against the Misuse of Pesticides) as a nonprofit membership organization in 1981, felt that without the existence of such an organized, national network, local, state and national pesticide policy would become, under chemical industry pressure, increasingly unresponsive to public health and environmental concerns. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions that affect them directly. We believe decisions should not be made for us by chemical companies or by decision-makers who either do not have all of the facts or refuse to consider them.

Beyond Pesticides seeks to protect healthy air, water, land, and food for ourselves and future generations. By forging ties with governments, nonprofits, and people who rely on these natural resources, we reduce the need for unnecessary pesticide use and protect public health and the environment. Beyond Pesticides provides hands-on services to the public and supports local action by: identifying and interpreting hazards; and, designing safe pest management programs. With the information provided by Beyond Pesticides, people may not only be able to make informed choices and adopt practices that protect themselves and their families from unnecessary exposure to pesticides, but they will be able to effect changes on community-wide pest management decisions and policies that govern pesticide use, such as pesticide uses in parks, schools, for community insect control and along roadsides. Beyond Pesticides believes that people must have a voice in decisions which affect them directly.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.beyondpesticides.org","https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/beyondpesticides\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/beyond-pesticides\/","https:\/\/x.com\/ByondPesticides","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/user\/bpncamp\/"],"url":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/author\/beyond-pesticides\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23221"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23221\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23224,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23221\/revisions\/23224"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/beyondpesticides.org\/dailynewsblog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
