Victory! Swiss Supermarkets Stop Selling Monsanto's Glyphosate
No doubt Monsanto is feeling the heat after the World Health Organization declared glyphosate to be “probably carcinogenic.” Since then, not only have Bermuda and Sri Lanka banned the import and use of glyphosate within their borders, but a huge German superstore stopped stocking glyphosate-containing products on their shelves.
And
now, in effect of the powerful declaration, two Swiss supermarkets have
also stopped carrying glyphosate-containing products.
As reported by Sustainable Pulse,
Coop and Migros recently each announced they will no longer sell
products that contain glyphosate and will be exploring non-toxic weed
killing alternatives.
This is a huge victory for activists
against Monsanto, and a clear sign that consumer efforts are working
their magic. No doubt countless more countries and businesses will
follow suit in the near future.
