Monsanto Roundup: It’s your future edition

This is the next installment in the monthly Monsanto Roundup, brought to you without corporate sponsorship or commercial interruption. In this edition the discussion surrounds events taking place in the world of Monsanto and biotech: * Monsanto's new poison, and DOW's reinvention of an old one * Regulate and label GMOs President Obama ! * Illegal transgenic contamination events in New Zealand, Italy, Ireland,… * Submission from Norway on the risks of GMOs to biodiversity… you know, that thing that allows us to continue living on Earth. In lieu of reports of both declining ocean and plant diversity, I truly think it is time to take stock in just what the hell we are doing to this planet and yes, that does include climate change! So please avail yourself of the knowledge available on the Sustainable Agriculture Group, and thanks for the support. Knowledge is power. Monsanto, out of our food! added by: JanforGore

Does the "Utility Only" Cap and Trade Pass Muster?

Photo via the Blind Eye The chances of comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation passing the Senate continue to slip away as the election cycle draws nearer. ‘Moderate’ Dems fear throwing their support behind a climate bill like Kerry and Lieberman’s, since Republicans have had some success falsely labeling the bill a ‘job-killing energy tax” (never mind that the vast majority of Americans support clean energy legislation). So, a number of alternative options are being considered, such as an ‘energy only’ bill, and a ‘utility only’ cap and trade bill — a bi… Read the full story on TreeHugger
