Council Testimony
Ban Roundup
Ban the use of (glyphosates) Roundup.
Studies on glyphosate show that it destroys human gut bacteria, stifling human immune function and inhibiting
cellular detoxification. Monsanto suggests that technicians applying Roundup need not use respirators or
protective clothing. County workers subscribe to this practice. Think about their safety and consider the liability
on the part of Hawaii County.
Further, Roundup alone is now giving rise to new chemical resistant super weeds.
What next?
Keep in mind that a mixture of water, sea salt, white vinegar and a small amount of dish washing detergent is as
effective as Roundup.
Mahalo nui,
