Demand a ban on the use of hazardous "sewage sludge" fertilizers.

Toxic 'Sewage Sludge' Fertilizer Is Contaminating Your Groceries with PFAS Forever Chemicals

Sign Now

Joseph,   For decades, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been encouraging farmers to use "sewage sludge" — a byproduct of wastewater treatment — as a fertilizer for crops across the United States. But this sludge is laced with toxic "forever chemicals" known as PFAS that poison our soil, water, food, and bodies.   PFAS are virtually indestructible, linked to devastating health impacts like cancer, birth defects, and immune system disorders. PFAS chemicals from sewage sludge wind up absorbed into soil, crops, and groundwater, creating a never-ending cycle of contamination.   Shockingly, the EPA has known about this contamination since 2003, when giant chemical corporation 3M revealed research that showed alarming levels of PFAS in sewage sludge. Additionally, scientists within the EPA have been ringing alarm bells for years! The EPA has already stated that there's "no safe level" of exposure to PFAS, and designated some as hazardous. Despite this, the EPA continues to encourage the practice to this day — without requiring any PFAS testing. Sign this petition to demand the EPA immediately ban the use of sewage sludge as fertilizer, and mandate nationwide testing for PFAS in all sludge and farmland!
