Rep. Tulsi Gabbard on Facebook: Hawai'i Bans Chlorpyrifos

Statement

Date: May 2, 2018
Issues: Environment

"#Hawaii just became the 1st state in the nation to ban chlorpyrifos-- a harmful pesticide that has been linked to damaging and often irreversible health outcomes in workers, pregnant women, and children. We must build on this progress made in Hawai"i & pass my bill, the Pesticide Protection Act to keep this toxic chemical out of our air, food, and water across the country. We must also hold industrial agri-businesses like Syngenta accountable for using this harmful chemical and putting profits over the health and safety of the American people and our planet.
