Ban Roundup/Glyphosate in Belize (Petition #2)

The Issue

The recent landmark decision in American courts of DeWayne Johnson vs Monsanto, where he was awarded 289 Million dollars because the courts found Monsanto culpable for him developing non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) has more than 4000 individuals lining up to take Monsanto to court.  Not only was it determined that Monsanto hid the risk associated with their cancer causing products, they found that Monsanto acted with "malicious intent" to try to cover up the cancer causing effects of Roundup, who's active ingredient is Glyphosate.

Belize imports over 19 different formulations of Glyphosate based products into Belize under a variety of trade names.

We are asking the Pesticides Control Board of Belize to do the right thing to Protect the People and Environment of Belize, and immediately stop the importation and BAN further importation of these cancer causing products, which are used heavily along our waterways by the Government of Belize.
