"Despite its toxicity to human health and loss of lives due to this deadly weedkiller, Syngenta still manufactures thousands of tonnes of paraquat every year, which is then shipped to other countries around the world including Kenya and South Africa"
-Claire Nasike
This shows how far pesticides manufacturers prioritise profit over people and the planet. Kenya's government must immediately ban paraquat among other toxic pesticides being used in Kenya. And ultimately, we need a global ban on this deadly pesticide.

Let's stop harming our planet and ourselves, by continuing to lead the life that we lead, we end up destroying ourselves.
We can change our way of doing things and still have comforts.
