Impressions from the participatory action “Detox EU agriculture”

In our participatory action, more than 500 people across Europe sent us their demands for better pesticide regulations together with a piece of their hair – the silent witness of our exposure to pesticides. Thank you all for your support!

In a great protest action in front of the EU parliament in Brussels, we displayed the colourful envelopes and stated clearly: European citizens are fed up with pesticides! We want a drastic pesticide reduction and the protection of human and environmental health – now!
