Dow and Monsanto Join Forces to Poison America s Heartland

Richard Schiffman, Truthout: ''In a match that some would say was made in hell, the nation s two leading producers of agrochemicals have joined forces in a partnership to reintroduce the use of the herbicide 2,4-D, one half of the infamous defoliant Agent Orange, which was used by American forces to clear jungle during the Vietnam War. These two biotech giants have developed a weed management program that, if successful, would go a long way toward a predicted doubling of harmful herbicide use in America s corn belt during the next decade.''

Important message from the U.K.!

Subject: Fwd: Countryfile Poll on GM
Date: Mon, 6 Aug 2012 11:12:50 +0100
Can we forward this to as many people as possible?


The BBC s Countryfile is currently running a poll to ask whether British GM crop trials should go ahead. This seems to have slipped under the radar somewhat and has the potential to be a powerful tool to be used heavily for those either side of this debate depending upon the result. Please follow the link below and add your 'No' vote, and please pass on to other concerned citizens, we do not wish this to be a green light for further trials.
