Costco is pulling Roundup from their stores and will no longer sell the carcinogen

Another blow to Bayer (formerly Monsanto) and a win for us and the environment: it's been confirmed that Costco will stop selling RoundUp and glyphosate-based herbicides this Spring! (Hopefully, stores like Lowe's and Home Depot will be next.)

We know that Moms Across America and other equally huge organizations have had petitions signed by hundreds of thousands (total) to get big brand stores to stop carrying Roundup. Now the well known founder Zen Honeycutt has announced it to tens of thousands of her readers/viewers on a Facebook live.

Be patient, our numerous sources tell us those up top at Costco will be pulling the product sooner than later.

They did ban eggs that were not cage free and other dangerous pesticides, so it only seems natural this would be next for the store. We're happy to hear this news.

Also please please call along with folks around the country asking Home Depot and Lowe's to follow suit!

Home Depot - 1-800-466-3337
Lowe's - 1-800-445-6937

Costco's is the largest buyer of organic foods in the country. This move is meant to show (and is doing that) the public that they care about people and the environment. Thank you, Costco for having the integrity to make this move.

To help Lowe's and Home Depot make the same decision, they may need some help. If you have the time, give them a call and ask them- politely- to stop selling the carcinogenic, endocrine disrupting, and dangerous weedkiller.¹ (Keep in mind, once the big box retailers stop, generally, the smaller sellers do as well.) And at the same time, encourage them to offer other weed killing options. (Or maybe even invest in some!)

Home Depot - 1-800-466-3337
Lowe's - 1-800-445-6937

Cities, states, and countries who have started to ban the use of the dangerous chemical and it's about time. After all, the truth is that there are no safe levels of glyphosate!

If we continue to work together, we will get glyphosate banned in order to create a healthier world for our children, grandchildren, and generations to come. It is going to take all of us. Thanks for being part of the solution.²

In pay scale and benefits, support of organics, business model, refusal to sell GMO salmon, and now this, Costco is demonstrating the possibilities for making a big business commitment to people that is equal to their commitment to profit. Hopefully, Lowe's and Home Depot will take a lesson from Costco's example, and ban this poison as well. There's a man who takes care of the grounds where I live, and walks around with a backpack full of Roundup every spring, applying it with no mask on. I asked him not to spray it in my back yard - said that I would manage the weeds myself. He got huffy and was offended that I would interfere with his business. He hasn't spoken to me since. It's sad that he's such an ignorant man - no clue and not about to get one - but his attitude is no concern of mine. On my little patch of ground, there's not going to be poison sprayed.

I would contest that. It's about finding a market and making money. The only power a consumer has is to remove their custom, if they are able to and to vote with their wallets.

Ruth If a company can run a solid business without being exploitative, that demonstrates to other companies that it's possible! I know Costco needs to work on a lot of things - packaging is a big one, and they strong-arm companies to cut profit to the bone in order to be able to sell there - but one step at a time!

Home depot sprays bee-killing (wasp) poison on their flowers and is one of the major causes of bee number declines in North America.

A joke.

A rerun of the DuPont "CFCs are killing ozone!" scam. Bayer will have another herbicide, patented, to use instead of glyphosate.... science ignorant turkeys, voting for christmas, via astroturf

Hope SOTT got $$$ for this!

Shades of the past!!!

And it was only yesterday that the big discount stores like Walmart removed ORTHO products of garden pesticides in 16 oz glass bottles; the label mix recommended 1/4 teaspoon to 1 gallon water. The settlements required to redress having teenage staff clean up by hand broken bottles of this massive toxic product actually closed entire stores.
