petitie tegen Paraquat gif van Syngenta
Rob - 07.11.2006 13:48

De Zwitserse organisatie Berne Declaration is een petitie begonnen tegen
de productie van de giftige pesticide Paraquat door het bedrijf Syngenta.
Paraquat wordt onder andere gebruikt op oliepalmplantages en is zeer
schadelijk voor de gezondheid van plantagewerkers.
Zie verderop voor de ondertekening daarvan.

De petitie vind je hier:

http://www.paraquat.ch/index.cfm?setlang=en

-------------------------
Dear friends

Please read carefully and forward this email to your friends.

Together with the Berne Declaration and 36 (inter-) national
organizations I ask you to support the case against paraquat.

The herbicide of the Swiss multinational corporation Syngenta
poisons ten thousands of people every year.

Paraquat is the world's most controversial herbicide. Not approved
for use in Switzerland since 1990 because of the risks associated
with it, paraquat is increasingly used in developing countries by
plantation workers and small farmers to kill weeds.

Ten thousands poison themselves every year because they lack of
protective equipment and clothing or insufficient information. And
thousands die a painful accidental death or commit suicide. There is
no antidote.

The agrochemical corporation Syngenta of Basel sells hundreds of
millions of Swiss Francs worth of paraquat every year - putting
lives at risk all over the world.

Bern Declaration, an independent Swiss organization, calls on people
everywhere to publicly condemn the inhuman business practices of the
Swiss Syngenta concern.

Please support our online petition at

http://www.paraquat.ch/.

Time is short: we need the support of at least 50,000 people by
mid-November.

Please forward this e-mail to all your friends and acquaintances.
There must be many more people out there, who are unhappy about a
Swiss corporation putting lives at risk for the sake of a greater
profit.

Thank you for your participation!

PS: If you wish to confirm the legitimacy of this e-mail campaign,
please send a mail to

paraquatinfo@evb.ch
