That may well prove to be chemical company propaganda. There is so much propaganda of all sorts floating about these days. Including from those who have vested interests in providing competing products or alternative lifestyles... That information, btw, came from the Environmental Protection Agency... They have a vested interest in promoting their own environmental agenda (and are staffed with plenty of environmentally minded folks). Hawk

Even Greenpeace finds little to dislike about glyphosate in ground water. It binds to soil, and what doesn't bind degrades quickly. archive.greenpeace.org But I think it's irresponsible to use it on suburban lawns, just to get that weed-free look. In the US there are lots of commercials on TV promoting the use of Roundup on your lawns as something wonderful. All the poisons run off the lawns up the hill and through my back yard on their way to the storm drain and out through the water into the Chesapeake, eventually, killing aquatic plants and frogs as they merrily go on their way.
