We’ve never been this close -- polls show Switzerland could vote next month to go pesticide-free. Syngenta and Bayer are going ballistic!
The Popular Initiative “for a Switzerland without artificial pesticides” will be put to a vote on June 13. If passed, the pesticide ban would have to be implemented within ten years.
Can we count on you to vote, and spread the word for this historic vote? If you’re not entitled to vote, you can certainly still help get out the vote, and counter the chemical lobby.
Vote to go pesticide-free if you can, and spread the word far and wide!
A leap forward like this in Switzerland is sure to help influence neighbouring countries too, and inspire similar initiatives around the world.
Switzerland would be the first country in the world to ban synthetic pesticides. That’s why the pesticide lobby is ready to do anything to prevent it. We can’t let them win! The biodiversity crisis and climate crisis demand radical changes like this. Business as usual is killing our planet.
We can do this!
