TAKING ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION ON GMO SEEDS

Dear Governor Nixon:

Right now I am visiting a friend in Mexico, Missouri to help her out. One of our other friends is a longtime organic farmer who sold his produce in Columbia for years. So this subject is on my mind and dear to my heart.

Please watch the movie FRESH, which you will love, being from a rural area yourself. It is a delightful film which is backed up by experts at the School of Agriculture of Mizzou. http://www.freshthemovie.com/

Also please note this recent article posted by the Union of Concerned Scientists. As you probably know, most countries outside our borders do not even allow the import of anything that is GMO. This well researched article leaves me ashamed to be a citizen of St. Louis where Monsanto is base. They might be a "Job Site," but their GMO seed outcome is destructive to the natural world. http://www.ucsusa.org/food_and_agriculture/science_and_impacts/impacts_genetic_engineering/eight-ways-monsanto-fails.html

I will also email this to John Lamping and Stacy Newman, besides my Federal legislators.

The Arrival of Environment as Restoration

Just imagine this. Your arctic environment is melting, and threatens the world as a whole with an extenuating  release of migraine level climate warming gas known as methane. OK, now what do you do?

Well of course, you take measures to restore the environment to how it was some 10,000 years ago.

Sergei Zimov is the environmentalist who was also featured in my previous post.

Fortunately for Missouri students and hobby level environmentalists like me we have some judicious journalists who are interested in this subject and willing to post AP news stories about the likes of Sergei Zimov.

Thank heavens for small favors and the irrepressible spirit of science to search for hope.
