- Glyphosate, the active ingredient in Roundup, is one of the most commonly used herbicides in the world. It can contribute to global climate warming in a number of ways. For example, glyphosate kills beneficial soil microbes, which reduces the soil's ability to store carbon. Additionally, glyphosate contributes to the release of nitrous oxide from the soil, a potent greenhouse gas. This herbicide contaminates water and soil and breaks down slowly. It is important to take steps to reduce our exposure to this herbicide. To help educate about this toxic chemical, we've created these comprehensive guides:
