Conspiracy Against Glyphosate
~
~
~
Marxist Socialism ―
~
~
The extremist-conspiracies against Roundup [ A.K.A. GLYPHOSATE ] are designed to impose MARXIST SOCIALISM.
~
These conspiracies are not only an attack against scientific innovation, they are also a means of imposing SOCIALISM.
~
In western countries, the slide towards SOCIALISM ( a.k.a. wealth re-distribution ) is taking root not only at the ballot box, but also from the GULLIBLE & IGNORANT JURORS at kangaroo-trial in California.
~
In essence, the KANGAROO-TRIALS against Roundup are extremist-conspiracies that are designed to re-distribute wealth from innovative companies, like Bayer ⁄ Monsanto, to UNDESERVING & PROFIT-HUNGRY PLAINTIFFS WITH FALSE-CANCER-CLAIMS against Roundup ― all while attorneys are taking a healthy cut for themselves.
~
Can Bayer ⁄ Monsanto ever appease Roundup-hating subversive-extremists & their attorneys ?!?! NEVER !
~
~
~
Toxicity ―
~
~
Roundup [ A.K.A. GLYPHOSATE ] is scientifically-safe, will CAUSE NO HARM, & will NOT REPRESENT AN ACTUAL RISK OF CANCER-HARM .
~
Roundup is PRACTICALLY NON-TOXIC according to LD50 assessments ― the LOWEST toxicity for risk assessments.
~
More precisely, Roundup Original Liquid Herbicide, which contains glyphosate, is PRACTICALLY NON-TOXIC according to the assessment of its acute oral toxicity, which has been estimated to be 5000+ mg / kg ― the acute toxicity of Roundup is LOWER than that of TABLE SALT.
~
Roundup is LESS TOXIC THAN several HOUSEHOLD ITEMS ― • Aspirin • baking soda • caffeine • cannabis • nicotine • table salt • Tylenol.
~
[ NO-ACTUAL-RISK ] Roundup is about THREE TIMES LESS DEADLY than Tylenol, & THIRTY TIMES LESS DEADLY than caffeine.
~
Roundup is NO MORE TOXIC THAN several more HOUSEHOLD ITEMS ― • ethanol ( an edible beverage constituent in beer, wine, & other intoxicating beverages ) • mouthwash ( i.e. Listerine ) • Vitamin C.
~
[ NO-ACTUAL-RISK ] Roundup is ― • scientifically-safe • practically non-toxic • will cause NO harm to human health & the environment • will NOT cause cancer-harm • will NOT cause irreversible damage if consumed orally.
~
The probable lethal dose for a person ingesting the concentrated form of [ NO-RISK ] Roundup is ONE LITRE, the volume of an entire milk carton.
~
By comparison, drinking SIX LITRES of water, which is considered HARMLESS, can lead to water poisoning or dilutional hyponatremia, which is a potentially fatal disturbance in brain functions.
~
In essence, water is only FIVE TIMES SAFER than Roundup.
~
Roundup [ A.K.A. GLYPHOSATE ] is scientifically-safe, will CAUSE NO HARM, & will NOT REPRESENT AN ACTUAL RISK OF CANCER-HARM.
~
~
~
No Actual Risk Of Harm & Environmentally-Benign ―
~
~
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in [ NO-ACTUAL-RISK- ] Roundup herbicide, which has been manufactured by Bayer since June 7th, 2018, when the Monsanto brand was discontinued.
~
National regulatory agencies & expert organizations have affirmed that there is NO ACTUAL RISK OF HARM to public health & the environment when used properly.
~
According to science-based evidence, glyphosate is ONLY toxic to plants because it is an herbicide.
~
There is no known biological mechanism by which glyphosate could cause cancer, therefore its carcinogenicity is NOT EVEN theoretically possible.
~
World-wide, science-based national regulatory agencies & leading experts have been siding with the overwhelming scientific evidence demonstrating that glyphosate WILL NOT REPRESENT AN ACTUAL CANCER RISK ― there is NO bio-medical & NO epidemiological evidence to support the FALSE-CLAIM that glyphosate causes cancer.
~
According to Dr Geoffrey C Kabat, cancer epidemiologist, FARMERS FAVOUR GLYPHOSATE because it is ENVIRONMENTALLY-BENIGN & has LOW TOXICITY ― the acute toxicity of glyphosate is LOWER than that of TABLE SALT.
~
~
~
Kangaroo-Trials & Bogus Lawsuits ―
~
~
Roundup trials ( i.e. cancer-trials ) have been text-book cases of KANGAROO-COURT-JUSTICE.
~
Roundup-hating extremists have subversively perpetuated false-cancer-claims, fraudulent science, imaginary danger, & enviro-terrrжrism against Roundup.
~
They are corrupt, fraudulent, politicized, & profit-hungry.
~
With Roundup KANGAROO-TRIALS ( i.e. cancer-trials ), the legal system has been IRRETRIEVABLY-CORRUPTED by this coordinated, well-funded attack by extremists, using FALSE-CANCER-CLAIMS, as well as social media, intimidation, & confrontation.
~
Who are some of these Roundup-hating extremists ?!?! ― • PLAINTIFFS • ATTORNEYS • JUDGES • JURIES • CONSULTANTS ― See below.
~
~
~
Plaintiffs ―
~
~
UNDESERVING & PROFIT-HUNGRY PLAINTIFFS have been FALSELY-ALLEGING that they suffer from some form of cancer, usually Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma ( NHL ), often after years of exposure to Roundup.
~
There is no association between Roundup [ A.K.A. GLYPHOSATE ] & NHL. In one of the most comprehensive analyses of existing research on the potential health hazards of exposure to glyphosate, a panel of six senior scientists concluded in May 2022 that consumers should be confident that there is currently NO EVIDENCE of a relationship between glyphosate & Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma ( NHL ).
~
The findings support the actions taken by the US EPA & Health Canada to allow the continued use of glyphosate WITHOUT A CANCER WARNING LABEL.
~
The results also raise questions on the VALIDITY OF THOUSANDS OF PENDING LAWSUITS alleging that glyphosate exposure causes cancer.
~
Glyphosate is scientifically-safe, will CAUSE NO HARM, & will NOT REPRESENT AN ACTUAL CANCER RISK.
~
With Roundup KANGAROO-TRIALS ( i.e. cancer-trials ), the legal system has been IRRETRIEVABLY-CORRUPTED.
~
~
~
Attorneys ―
~
~
Jackpot-justice attorneys have been launching FRIVOLOUS LITIGATION against Roundup.
~
During the California KANGAROO-TRIALS, the plaintiffs’ attorneys have manipulated the juries’ emotions by using FALSE-CANCER-CLAIMS against Roundup in order to obtain verdicts that have led to UNJUSTIFIED JACKPOT AWARDS.
~
Their legal arguments have defied scientific evidence & have manipulated juries into falsely-believing that Roundup causes harm [ ?!?! ] ― the logic of science-based evidence has been replaced with emotion & virtue signaling.
~
With Roundup KANGAROO-TRIALS ( i.e. cancer-trials ), the legal system has been IRRETRIEVABLY-CORRUPTED.
~
~
~
Judges ―
~
~
With Roundup KANGAROO-TRIALS, judges have proven to be IRRETRIEVABLY-CORRUPTED.
~
For example, kangaroo-trial judges have operated courts that condemn Roundup with FALSE-CANCER-CLAIMS, & have imposed JACKPOT-AWARDS against the manufacturer of Roundup.
~
More precisely, the judges in the first three KANGAROO-TRIALS against Roundup let the plaintiff-attorneys BOMBARD the jury with FALSE-CANCER-CLAIMS by the CHERRY-PICKED & POLITICIZED HAZARD REPORT from the controversial International Agency for Research on Cancer ( IARC ).
~
The FALSE-CLAIMS that Roundup is carcinogenic should NEVER be admitted as evidence in ANY trial.
~
~
~
Juries ―
~
~
With Roundup KANGAROO-TRIALS, juries have proven to be IRRETRIEVABLY-CORRUPTED.
~
GULLIBLE & IGNORANT JURIES, after kangaroo-trials in California, tend to mandate UNJUSTIFIED JACKPOT AWARDS against the manufacturer to UNDESERVING & PROFIT-HUNGRY PLAINTIFFS with FALSE-CANCER-CLAIMS they were dying because of their exposure to [ NO-ACTUAL-RISK- ] Roundup.
~
~
~
Awards ―
~
~
The manufacturer has vigorously appealed several UNJUSTIFIED JACKPOT AWARDS, but lost in one case ― Johnson V Bayer.
~
However, the manufacturer later won Johnson V Bayer in state court in Oregon ― Roundup was VINDICATED; a TOTAL VICTORY for the manufacturer.
~
In two trials, the judge reduced the awards, providing a PARTIAL VICTORY for manufacturer ― Hardeman V Bayer & Pilliods V Bayer.
~
In at least three trials, the jury REJECTED the claim that Roundup caused cancer-harm ― Roundup was VINDICATED; a TOTAL VICTORY for the manufacturer ― Clark V Bayer, Shelton V Bayer, & Stephens V Bayer.
~
~
~
Settlements ―
~
~
In 2020, Bayer announced a settlement between $8.8 Billion & $9.6 Billion to address close to 100,000 existing false-cancer-claims that exposure to Roundup caused Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma ( NHL ) & other forms of cancer.
~
Another $1.25 Billion was set aside to address false-cancer-claims by potential future plaintiffs, which would include a maximum of $150 Million in attorney fees.
~
At the end of 2021, Bayer allocated approximately $16 Billion to Roundup litigation in the United States, addressing roughly 98,000 of 125,000 cases.
~
~
~
Consultants ―
~
~
Self-appointed consultants have been used in kangaroo-trials to concoct FALSE-CANCER-CLAIMS, FRAUDULENT SCIENCE, IMAGINARY DANGER, & ENVIRO-TERRRЖRISM against Roundup.
~
With Roundup KANGAROO-TRIALS, consultants have proven to be THE MOST CORRUPT OF ALL.
~
For example, Christopher Portier, an allegedly-corrupt consultant for attorneys suing on behalf of plaintiffs who have falsely-alleged suffering from cancer after years of exposure to Roundup, an otherwise successful, innovative, & safe weed control product ― nonetheless, Roundup is NOT a carcinogen.
~
Portier has also been a part-time employee at Environmental Defense Fund, a notorious anti-pesticide & environmental-extremist organization.
~
Portier was also behind the failed-evaluation of glyphosate by the controversial International Agency for Research on Cancer ( IARC ), a corrupt, fraudulent, politicized, anti-glyphosate, & environmental-extremist organization.
~
He then served as an « INVITED SPECIALIST » for IARC, despite having no background in chemical research.
~
With the involvement of consultants at Roundup KANGAROO-TRIALS, the legal system has been IRRETRIEVABLY-CORRUPTED.
~
~
~
Cancer-Myth ―
~
~
Roundup will NOT CAUSE CANCER-HARM.
~
There is NO legitimate research that is disturbing about Roundup.
~
A classification of [ NO-ACTUAL-RISK- ] Roundup with regard to carcinogenicity is NOT JUSTIFIED.
~
Roundup continues to survive the intense, periodic scientific scrutiny of the world’s most rigorous national regulatory bodies.
~
Roundup causing cancer is a MYTH.
~
National regulatory agencies around the world agree Roundup is SAFE when used according to label directions.
~
Glyphosate-based products are the most widely used herbicides in the world, & these agencies have re-affirmed, over & over again, that Roundup is NOT carcinogenic.
~
These agencies include ― • European Food Safety Authority ( EFSA ) • European Chemicals Agency ( ECHA ) • German BfR • Australian, Canadian, Korean, New Zealand, & Japanese regulatory authorities • Joint FAO / WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues ( JMPR ) • US Environmental Protection Agency ( US EPA ).
~
Roundup will NOT CAUSE CANCER-HARM.
~
People are killed by real carcinogens, such as alcohol & cigarettes, but NOT by Roundup or any other pesticides.
~
Roundup [ A.K.A. GLYPHOSATE ] causing cancer is a MYTH.
~
Contrary to what pesticide-hating extremists lie about, there are NO pest control products that are known or probable carcinogens.
~
Prohibiting ingredients like glyphosate will prevent virtually NO CANCER-HARM.
~
Pest control products are nowhere near a leading cause of cancer-death, & there is NO chance that they will make you die of cancer.
~
In fact, there is NOT ONE known cancer-death from the proper use of these products used in the urban landscape & in agriculture.
~
Allegations that exposure to Roundup leads to cancer is BIOLOGICALLY IMPOSSIBLE.
~
Roundup [ A.K.A. GLYPHOSATE ] is scientifically-safe, will CAUSE NO HARM, & will NOT REPRESENT AN ACTUAL RISK OF CANCER-HARM.
~
~
~
Cancer Is Inevitable ―
~
~
Given that cancer is the number 2 leading cause of death, there is a good chance that you are going to die of cancer no matter what you do.
~
By contrast, pest control products, like Roundup, are nowhere near a leading cause of cancer-harm, & there is NO chance that they will make you die of cancer.
~
So, chill-out & have a drink, & forget about prohibiting products like Roundup.
~
~
~
Appeasing Extremists ?!?! ―
~
~
Roundup / glyphosate-hating extremists will NEVER be appeased & their environmental-terrжr will NEVER end !
~
Bayer ⁄ Monsanto face hostile Roundup-hating / glyphosate-hating extremists with lunatжc-doctrines that are fanatжcal in character, ruthless in purpose, subversive in method, & frivolous in nature.
~
In the 9|11 era of environmental-terrжr … extremist-conspiracies have now spread against agriculture ― & the golf industry will be next.
~
These conspiracies have attempted to prohibit glyphosate & other ingredients, from these hated industries.
~
Preferably, Bayer ⁄ Monsanto must STRIKE BACK against Roundup-hating / glyphosate-hating extremists !
~
Nonetheless, Bayer announced it will remove Roundup & other glyphosate-based herbicides from the US residential lawn & garden market-place, effective January 2023.

Roundup History ―
~
~
One of agriculture’s chief inputs is not only a mainstay in the field, it’s had its fair share of trips to the courtroom as well.
~
Glyphosate, a chemical that was first used to clean out mineral deposits in pipes and boilers, is commonly used as a herbicide to protect a farmer’s crops from being overtaken by noxious weeds.
~
[ NO-ACTUAL-RISK- ] glyphosate comes in many forms but is most commonly applied as an acid or a salt.
~
It is a non-selective herbicide, meaning it will kill most plants that it comes in contact with, unless that plant has been genetically-modified for resistance.
~
Glenn Stith is a former Monsanto crop protection executive who is president of Top Hand Consulting and also works as a consultant for The Context Network.
~
According to Glenn Stith ―
~
[ NO-ACTUAL-RISK- ] Roundup was the first herbicide to control weeds above and below the ground which made it possible, for the first time, to control tough yield-robbing perennial weeds like Johnsongrass, Quackgrass, Canada Thistle, Field Bindweed, and many other tough to control weed species.
~
Because of the broad spectrum of weeds controlled and the fact that it was virtually inactive in the soil, [ NO-ACTUAL-RISK- ] Roundup was used as a replacement for pre-plant tillage in many annual cropping systems around the world.
~
The advent of Roundup Ready Soy, Cotton, Corn and Canola revolutionized in-crop weed management by simplifying operations, lowering overall chemical costs and reducing the number of trips across the field, triggering a major expansion in zero till and other forms of conservation tillage agriculture in these major broad acre crops.
~
[ NO-ACTUAL-RISK- ] Roundup has also been widely used to control weeds in perennial specialty crops such as tree nuts, tree fruits, citrus, and grapes as well as landscape, ornamental nursery, forestry, roadside, and turf management.
~
The herbicide became popular among producers for its ability to manage noxious weeds on a large agricultural scale, saving time and money.
~
Before, Monsanto commercialized Roundup, of which glyphosate is a key ingredient, farmers would manage weeds by tilling up the ground, making multiple passes across a field with large machinery and exposing the topsoil ― which could lead to soil erosion and compaction.
~
Or, a producer would use a variety of selective herbicides, which each targets a specific weed, resulting in multiple trips across a field and greater use of resources like fuel, labor, and time.
~
In other situations, producers would have to physically walk a field and hand remove weeds.
~
Since the advent of glyphosate-tolerant crops such as corn, cotton, and soybeans in the mid-1990s, agricultural use has increased steadily.
~
By 2016, [ NO-ACTUAL-RISK- ] glyphosate accounted for nearly 44 per cent of the total herbicide use on crops, according to the US Geological Survey.
~
But the discourse around [ NO-ACTUAL-RISK- ] glyphosate took a different turn after concerns over the safety of the product and its cancer risks. [ ?!?!?!?! ]
~
According to a 2017 determination [ I.E. SCIENTIFIC ASSESSMENT ] from the US Environmental Protection Agency [ US EPA ], glyphosate is NOT LIKELY TO BE CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS.
~
But in a different study completed in March 2015 by the [ CONTROVERSIAL ] International Agency for Research on Cancer [ IARC ], a group of 17 scientists classified [ NO-ACTUAL-RISK- ] glyphosate as « PROBABLY CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS » [ ?!?!?!?! ] .
~
~
~
Background Information
~
HEALTH SCARE V HEALTH THREAT !
~
On September 12th, 2016, the United States Environmental Protection Agency ( US EPA ) reported that glyphosate DOES NOT CAUSE CANCER. According to the US EPA, « THE AVAILABLE DATA AT THIS TIME DO NOT SUPPORT A CARCINOGENIC PROCESS FOR GLYPHOSATE ». The US EPA’s assessment of glyphosate was based upon an extensive data-base that exists for evaluating the carcinogenic potential of glyphosate, including 23 epidemiological studies, 15 animal carcinogenicity studies, & nearly 90 genotoxicity studies for the active ingredient glyphosate.
~
On April 29th, 2016, the US EPA had also classified glyphosate as « NOT LIKELY TO BE CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS », the SAFEST CLASSIFICATION on the scale. The US EPA’s assessment of glyphosate DISCREDITED the anti-glyphosate report by the controversial International Agency for Research on Cancer ( IARC ) which CONVENIENTLY DISREGARDED SEVERAL STUDIES on the effects of exposure to glyphosate purely on the basis that these studies showed NO positive results. The US EPA report also noted that the studies IARC chose to include in its report had SIGNIFICANT LIMITATIONS. Additionally, IARC’s anti-glyphosate report was based on a review of the scientific literature that WAS NOT COMPREHENSIVE. IARC DELIBERATELY OVERSTATED THE RISKS with its arbitrary & selective « CHERRY PICKING » studies against glyphosate.
~
NO PESTICIDE REGULATOR IN THE WORLD CONSIDERS GLYPHOSATE TO BE A CARCINOGEN, & both US EPA reports once again reinforced this important fact. The US EPA had successfully separated a health scare from a health threat !
~
~
~
US EPA said it « CONSIDERED A SIGNIFICANTLY MORE EXTENSIVE AND RELEVANT DATA SET THAN THE INTERNATIONAL AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER », including studies submitted to support registration of [ NO-ACTUAL-RISK- ] glyphosate and studies US EPA identified in the open literature.
~
Glyphosate’s safety has also been challenged in the US court system.
~
In 2016, Dewayne « Lee » Johnson, a grounds-keeper for Benicia Unified School District in the San Francisco Bay area, claimed exposure to [ NO-ACTUAL-RISK- ] Ranger Pro ― the trade name for Monsanto’s glyphosate-based herbicide ― caused his Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma ( NHL ) [ ?!?!?!?! ] .
~
~
~
Background Information
~
JOHNSON V BAYER ―
~
During Johnson V Bayer kangaroo-trial, grounds-keeper Johnson should have been asked by lawyers how many times in his life did he estimate he was exposed to substances classified as Group 1 – Carcinogenic To Humans by International Agency for Research on Cancer ( IARC ) ?!?!
~
Put another way, Johnson should have explained exactly how he & his so-called experts separated & quantified all his various exposures & life-style decisions ― & concluded that Ranger Pro from Bayer / Monsanto was the SOLE REASON he got cancer ― & all these other factors played NO role whatsoever.
~
~
~
During the first set of Roundup court cases, Monsanto was in the process of being acquired by German pharmaceutical manufacturer Bayer.
~
Once the acquisition was complete, Bayer also acquired the Roundup lawsuits filed against Monsanto.
~
Today, Bayer is under pressure to address what it estimates as about 30,000 currently unsettled claims [ I.E. FALSE-CANCER-CLAIMS ] ― and any future claims ― that the manufacturer’s [ NO-ACTUAL-RISK- ] Roundup products caused Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma ( NHL ) [ ?!?!?!?! ] .
~
In addition to announcing it will withdraw glyphosate-based products from the residential market, it has said it is working to find alternatives to glyphosate while continuing to insist the chemical is safe to use as directed.
~
( Bayer says about 107,000 cases have been settled. )
~
~
~
Background Information
~
SETTLEMENTS ―
~
In 2020, Bayer announced a settlement between $8.8 Billion & $9.6 Billion to address close to 100,000 existing false-cancer-claims that exposure to Roundup caused Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma ( NHL ) & other forms of cancer.
~
Another $1.25 Billion was set aside to address false-cancer-claims by potential future plaintiffs, which would include a maximum of $150 Million in attorney fees.
~
By the end of 2021, Bayer had allocated approximately $16 Billion to Roundup litigation in the United States, addressing roughly 98,000 of 125,000 cases.
~
As of February 2022, 28 Canadian lawsuits relating to Roundup have been served upon Bayer.
~
~
~
The manufacturer also was hoping the Supreme Court would review a federal appeals court decision that concluded the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act [ FIFRA ] does not pre-empt state law tort claims, as were brought in three widely publicized cases that resulted in massive [ & UNJUSTIFIED JACKPOT ] jury verdicts for [ UNDESERVING & PROFIT-HUNGRY ] plaintiffs.
~
The court, however, rejected that petition ( the Hardeman V Monsanto case ) and followed that up by denying a second petition from Monsanto that made similar arguments about a California Court of Appeal decision ( the Pilliods V Monsanto case ).

Erasing The Bayer Name
~
~
~
New Envu Company Was Formerly Bayer’s
Environmental Science Business Division
See below
~
~
~
A new company with familiar people and products has been created following the sale of Bayer’s Environmental Science business division.
~
What does it mean to the golf industry ?
~
And what’s behind the name, logo and look ?
~
Prepare to see fresh hues and hear a new name during industry events and conversations.
~
The Envu era in the golf industry has official started.
~
So, what’s Envu ?
~
It’s the company formerly known as Bayer Environmental Science.
~
Bayer veteran Mr Gilles Galliou has been selected to become CEO of the new company.
~
Mr Gilles Galliou confirmed in an interview with Golf Course Industry that Envu has publicly launched in the United States markets.
~
The new name and colors are on the company’s web-site and golf Twitter feed.
~
Employees are calling the company Envu in conversations.
~
According to Mr Gilles Galliou ―
~
Bayer Environmental Science has been a great ride with a great history,
~
Envu is now the reference.
~
This is who we are.
~
From now on, we will be called Envu.
~
The company contrasts a start-up despite a new owner, name, colors and logo.
~
The people, products, distributor network and product pipelines that helped build Environmental Science into an industry stalwart remain intact.
~
Envu will eventually replace Bayer on product labels, but customers will notice few differences besides people they know wearing different colors.
~
According to Mr Gilles Galliou ―
~
We will be branding our products with Envu, but something like a Specticle or Signature will remain a Specticle or Signature.
~
That’s the base of who we are.
~
Envu’s physical base is Cary, North Carolina.
~
The company will support between 900 and 1,000 employees, and it currently generates $700 million to $800 million in annual revenue, according to Mr Galliou.
~
Envu features enough people, products and solutions to impact the markets it serves, yet it’s significantly smaller than companies tied to behemoth industries such as agriculture and pharmaceuticals.
~
The narrow focus could position the company to increase its support of the golf market beyond a diverse product portfolio and respected team of technical and sales specialists.
~
According to Mr Gilles Galliou ―
~
Golf is a very, very small part for a lot of companies.
~
It’s a very, very big part of our business. It’s essential to our business.
~
As a company that will be totally focused on those markets, we have to become better partners.
~
We have to spend more time with our customers, listen to them, and find the biggest pain points and find solutions for those.
~
Mr Galliou has listened carefully to internal and external voices throughout the past 20 months.
~
Ten-figure transactions are complex, and present myriad human, logistical and legal obstacles.
~
They are even more complex when the result is the formation of a new company.
~
A process as innocuous as selecting a name can be exhausting.
~
Pronounced « ehn-VIEW », the name derives from environmental and vision, a pair of the company’s core principles.
~
According to Mr Gilles Galliou ―
~
What I’m amazed about is the number of names that are registered across the world.
~
From the top of your mind, you want to have names that really can be used.
~
You go on your whiteboard, list them and put 100 of them on there that seem totally new to you, and then you Google them or look at legal ownership of names, and you’ll kill almost 80 per cent of them already.
~
It’s incredible to find the right name and right concept, and then make sure it’s not being used or registered.
~
Envu’s modern colors offer a different vibe for the golf industry — and the scheme was selected by calculated design.
~
With dozens of companies selling products in the same categories, Mr Galliou and team wanted an eye-catching presence.
~
According to Mr Gilles Galliou ―
~
If you look at the color scheme of the competitions that we have today, they are all very similar.
~
We’re a standalone company.
~
We need to stand out.
~
We couldn’t choose a color scheme that was already half consumed by everybody else.
~
Knowing that, we decided to take those warm, trendy colors.
~
We totally own that willingness to be different.
~
How soon will the logo and colors be spotted ?
~
Mr Galliou pointed to his Microsoft Teams backdrop when answering the question.
~
According to Mr Gilles Galliou ―
~
It’s important for us to be proud of the company we create and to make people understand it exists.
~
We have to stand behind the logo.
As you can see in the background, the first thing that we did was change my background and put an Envu logo here.
~
It’s important for us to show Envu to the world.

Bayer Announced It Will Remove No-Actual-Risk-

See below
~
~
~
Biotechnology giant Bayer has agreed to sell its Environmental Science business division, which is behind several golf course maintenance products, to a private equity firm for just under £2.3 Billion.
~
Global private equity company Cinven entered into a corresponding agreement with Bayer in March 2022 and the conditions for closing the transaction ― including the receipt of regulatory approval ― have now been met.
~
This means nearly 900 employees will transfer from Bayer to a divested business called Envu, which was set up this year.
~
Envu is headquartered in Cary, North Carolina, United States, and is active in over 100 countries.
~
Envu says it offers dedicated services in golf and professional pest management, and its portfolio consists of over 180 well-known brands.
~
According to Mr Rodrigo Santos, member of the board of management of Bayer AG and head of the Crop Science Division ―
~
We thank the employees of Environmental Science Professional for their many years of commitment and the associated success of Bayer.
~
In Cinven, we have found a strong new owner with a firm commitment to the long-term growth potential of the business and to its people.
~
At the same time, we can concentrate on our core agricultural business and the successful implementation of our growth strategy in the Crop Science Division.
~
Bayer will use the net proceeds from the transaction to reduce its net financial debt.
~
According to Mr Pontus Pettersson, partner at Cinven ―
~
Envu is a global leader in a highly attractive and critical industry.
~
We thank Bayer for the trust they have placed in Cinven and plan to build on the strong foundations established by Bayer by significantly investing in it.
~
Cinven is excited to build an independent, focused company and is well positioned to continue to drive innovation and accelerate growth, including the delivery of digital and data-enabled solutions, and to extend the product portfolio further by creating innovative and sustainable solutions for its customers.

Bayer Wins The Sixth Courtroom Victory In A Row
See below
~
~
~
On November 9th, 2002, Bayer scored another win over Monsanto’s Roundup herbicide after a Missouri jury came out with a defense verdict.
~
The trial, in St Louis County Circuit Court, is the sixth courtroom victory in a row for Bayer, which two years ago agreed to pay $10 Billion to resolve an estimated 120,000 Roundup lawsuits alleging its pesticide caused non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
~
But thousands of Roundup cases remain unsettled, leading to a new spate of Roundup trials in Missouri, California, and Oregon.
~
According to a statement by Bayer ―
~
The jury’s unanimous verdict in favor of the company brings this trial to a successful conclusion and is consistent with the evidence in this case that Roundup does not cause cancer.
~
While we have great sympathy for the [ UNDESERVING & PROFIT-HUNGRY ] plaintiff in this case, the jury has weighed the evidence from both sides in this case and concluded that Roundup is not responsible for the plaintiff’s injuries.
~
We continue to stand behind the safety of Roundup and will confidently defend the safety of our product as well as our good faith actions in any future litigation.

Bayer Lasso Victory
~
~
~
After A 15-Year Legal Battle, Bayer Paid A Mere $11,700 In
Compensation To A French Farmer Who May Have Falsely-
Claimed He Was Harmed By An Application Of Lasso Herbicide
See below
~
The Farmer & Other Pesticide-Hating Extremists Expressed
Disappointment That The Award Was Not A Jackpot Amount

Background Information
~
LASSO !
~
Alachlor, a.k.a. Lasso, was a pre-emergent herbicide used for the control of annual grasses & broad-leaved weeds in crops. It was discontinued in the European Union, as well as in the United States & Canada.
~
~
~
Germany’s Bayer has been ordered to pay compensation of [ A DISAPPOINTING ] 11,135 euros ( $11,700 ) to a French farmer who inhaled fumes from a herbicide [ LASSO ] , ending a 15-year legal battle.
~
The French case had added to health claims against the crop chemical and pharmaceutical group, which is facing thousands of [ UNRELATED ] cases in the United States over another weedkiller [ ROUNDUP ] .
~
Farmer Paul Francois and [ OTHER ] anti-pesticide [ EXTREMISTS ] [ … ] expressed disappointment over the sum as they try to show a wider trend of illness caused by farm chemicals [ FALSE ] .
~
According to farmer Paul Francois ―
~
11,000 euros for so much sacrifice.
~
His lawyer told Reuters the exact amount was 11,135 euros.
~
The farmer argued that the fumes he inhaled in 2004 from the weedkiller Lasso, a product subsequently withdrawn from the French market, caused neurological problems [ ?!?! ] , including memory loss [ ?!?! ] , fainting [ ?!?! ] , and headaches [ ?!?! ] .
~
After a court ruled in 2019 that Monsanto, which had meanwhile become a subsidiary of Bayer, was liable for providing inadequate safety information on Lasso, France’s highest court in 2020 rejected a final company appeal, opening the way for another court to decide on damages.
~
Bayer France and the farmer’s lawyer, Francois Lafforgue, both said that court experts had considered the accident caused post-traumatic stress [ ?!?! ] and that the award covered a temporary functional deficit [ ?!?! ] and suffering [ ?!?! ] endured by the [ UNDESERVING & PROFIT-HUNGRY ] plaintiff.
~
Bayer France added that the sum awarded was less than 1 per cent of what Francois had demanded, which was in line with media reports that the farmer had asked for more than 1 million euros [ ?!?!?!?! ] in compensation.
~
The company also reiterated that the judicial experts had not recognised any of the « SERIOUS PATHOLOGIES » alleged.
~
According to anti-pesticide [ EXTREMIST ] groups ―
~
This type of ruling could discourage pesticide victims from claiming the responsibility of multinational firms.
~
Bayer inherited the French legal claim after acquiring US-based Monsanto, whose take-over also landed it with a portfolio of litigation relating to Roundup herbicide [ UNRELATED TO LASSO ] .
~
The [ PESTICIDE-HATING EXTREMIST ] group has been challenging the lawsuits seeking tens of millions of dollars in awards.
~
Plaintiffs claim that Roundup’s active ingredient glyphosate caused cancer [ FALSE ] and other diseases [ FALSE ] .
