A pesticide that harms kids' brains? Bad idea.
Yesterday we heard that we have 60 extra days (http://action.ufw.org/page/s/chlorpyrifos213) to press EPA for a good decision on chlorpyrifos. Public outcry about this widely used insecticide appears to have convinced the agency to keep the public comment period open. If you haven't yet commented, can you please sign the petition and optional comment box that we will be submitting to the official docket, along with a coalition of other groups, before the EPA's May 7th deadline.
Petition: http://action.ufw.org/page/s/chlorpyrifos213
Thank you!
