Re: [Native Gardening] Digest Number 1606

 

Those of us who care about the environment might think of contacting our legislators to voice opposition to the use of herbicide-tolerant crops then and mobilize our neighbors and family likewise. 

While this is a very widespread practice (read Michael Pollan's account of McDonalds' use of herbicide-laced potatoes for their french fries in 'The Botany of Desire') there is a new move afoot to approve the use of Agent Orange, which has been proven to cause cancer, on our crops. http://action.fooddemocracynow.org/sign/stop_agent_orange_corn/

If this is approved, it will have devastating effects on our native gardens and our own health as well.

No wrong. You cannot use any chemicals without personal exposure of some kind. Not possible.
