No More Glyphosate NZ
218 POSTS0 COMMENTS
No More Glyphosate NZ is a grassroots campaign dedicated to raising awareness about the health and environmental risks of glyphosate use in New Zealand. Our mission is to empower communities to take action, advocate for safer alternatives, and challenge policies that put public safety at risk. Join us in the fight to stop the chemical creep!
Beyond the Plate: Glyphosate Found in Tampons, Textiles, and More
Think glyphosate is only in your food? It’s turning up in personal care, supplements, and even your clothing. Exposure is bigger than we thought.
We Think About What We Eat — But What About What We Wear?
Could your clothes be exposing you to glyphosate? From cotton fields to fabric, this overlooked risk deserves more attention.
When “Science” Becomes Spin: How the Glyphosate Narrative Gets Shaped
What happens when “the science” isn’t the full story? This article breaks down how industry messaging shapes public understanding of glyphosate-based weedkillers — and why New Zealanders are asking sharper questions.
Prove It in Court, Not in Parliament: The Case Against Glyphosate Immunity
Bayer tried to secure legal immunity for Roundup cancer lawsuits in Missouri — and failed. The courts upheld a US$611 million verdict, setting a powerful precedent. As New Zealand debates glyphosate residue limits and regulatory oversight, the lesson is clear: accountability shouldn’t be optional.
Glyphosate Hazardous by Law — But Roundup’s Ingredients Stay Hidden
Glyphosate is legally classified as a Hazardous Substance, yet most of Roundup’s ingredients remain secret. Europe now requires full disclosure — so why doesn’t New Zealand?
Acute vs. Accumulated: Why Do We Regulate Tutin in Honey — But Not Glyphosate
Tutin in honey can trigger seizures — so NZ enforces strict limits and testing. Glyphosate? It’s in everyday food, yet quietly accepted. Why the double standard?
What’s Actually Being Tested? The Hidden Loophole in Chemical Approvals
We assume new chemicals are tested for safety — but in most cases, only one ingredient is tested, not the full spray. Is our system protecting us — or industry?
Regulators Don’t Test Commercial Formulations — What That Means for NZ
Most pesticide safety tests ignore the real-world spray. A new study reveals regulators don’t test the full formulation — just the declared ingredient. What does that mean for New Zealand’s food system, public health, and global credibility?
Roundup and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma: What the Science (and the Courts) Are Saying
Non-Hodgkin lymphoma sits at the heart of the glyphosate debate — and the science, lawsuits, and billion-dollar settlements are painting a picture regulators can no longer ignore. Here’s what the research (and the courts) are saying about Roundup and cancer risk.
Glyphosate vs Roundup: Why This Distinction Matters — Even Ministers Get It Wrong
We asked why glyphosate‑based weedkillers sold in NZ don’t carry clearer health warnings. The Minister replied — but she answered a different question entirely.
Beyond the Withdrawal: What Comes (and What Doesn’t) After Glyphosate
As Bayer signals a retreat from glyphosate, the scramble to replace it is already underway. But many of the new “solutions” look a lot like old mistakes. Is New Zealand prepared — or just rebranding the same broken system?
Glyphosate keeps radiata pine profitable — but at what cost to health and environment?
Forestry in New Zealand leans heavily on glyphosate-based sprays such as Roundup Renew and Roundup Transorb. Promoted as efficient, these chemical cocktails expose workers, neighbours, and ecosystems to risks regulators prefer not to see.
