Label GMO's and Ban Pesticides in California

Created by J.S. on June 11, 2014

Currently, the use of pesticides, herbicides, and GMOs are contributing to an environmental crisis and a concentrated power handling the food supply. Genetically Modified Organisms release toxins through their roots, eradicating soil bacteria, leading to the infertility of the soil. Synthetic pesticides contain neonicotinoid, a chemical that is the main contributor to Colony Collapse Disorder. CCD is a major threat to pollinators as honeybees are facing danger of extinction.

Agribusiness companies such as Monsanto claim these practices feed the world with higher yields. In reality, the world has PLENTY of food – it's the distribution of food that's the problem. People in third world countries don't need Agribusiness to produce unnecessary amounts of food, they need the money to afford it.
