What the petition asks
Since classified a probable carcinogen, many are saying NO to glyphosate.
Why not prove chemicals safe before allowing use?
UK GOV If you take your duty of care seriously, you would ban it now, pending review, as there is no proof it does not cause illnesses & mounting evidence it does.
