Eco-IN-justice

Walking around town on Friday I noticed a disturbing trend in Eco-
information. The first bit of false info was a Mosanto ad posted in
the metro train professing that producing more is the answer to "9
million people to feed" and "a changing climate." The ad further
claims "experts" say food production must be doubled by 2050 and with
Monsanto GM seeds this will not only happen but be a "win-win for
people, and the earth itself." I for one am curious to know which
"experts" they are consulting. To add a little extra hope and twinkle
in our eyes Monsanto is looking out for us, "improving farmers'
lives...and that's what Monsanto is all about." (check it out on www.monsanto.com/responsibility/sustainable-ag/advertisements.asp
)

My second encounter was a doozy and luckily was able to snap a shot of
it with my new iPhone (lovingly named Gustave).
I have two questions for you americaspower.org who are these "American
opinion leaders" of whom you speak and in what way is harming the
planet, degrading our environment and stealing the right to a good
life from future generations "affordable?"

Clean coal? Who do you think you're kidding?
