Stopping the use of Glyphosate in public spaces.
The World Health Organisation has stated that it is highly
probable that Glyphosate is carcinogenic.
Glyphosate is also an endocrinal disruptor affecting our hormones,
and also kills microbes thus being detrimental to intestinal
flora.
As it is chemically stable, Glyphosate is highly detrimental to the
environment, being accumulated the higher up the food chain you
go.
As it is soluble in water, it is highly damaging to all forms of aquatic life and soil organisms, including earthworms.
Many other countries have banned or severely restricted Glyphosate, for example Sri Lanka, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Italy, Belgium, to name a few.
In the UK, many local authorities have also banned or severely restricted Glyphosate, including Shaftesbury, Hammersmith and Fulham, Glastonbury, Aberdeen and Edinburgh,
We believe it is time that Barnet followed the lead that others have shown and protected our environment and public health for the future.
