Mushrooms Can Save the World? According to an article in the Economist, Bioremediation: Bottom Feeders, scientists are successfully growing edible oyster mushrooms on sterilized, used, disposable diapers to help rot them completely in under four months as apposed to the hundreds of years they would take sitting in a landfill.  Paul Stamets, world renowned mushroom expert, claims  in a TED Talk there are Six Ways Mushrooms Can Save the World.  From cleaning up oil spills, to making an ecologically sound fuel, mushrooms have tremendous potential.

We have a right to know what is in our food.  The campaign against I-522 is funded by massive amounts of corporate money.  It is up to grassroots activism to make sure that we don't let corporations decide what we think is right for our bodies and our farms.
Below is a myth busting fact sheet.  If you wish to share this information click here. 

The Development of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO's) is an issue that has potentially huge impacts for our Earth and its people and should not be left to profiting corporations like Monsanto to decide what is safe and/or fair. 
Here are two other articles on the GMO front:
  • American Farmers Appeal To US Supreme Court to Seek Protection from GE Crops In this article it explains how farmers are looking at fighting GMO's through patent law.
  • Messing with nature seems to have no boundaries: Thousands of Genetically Modified Insect Set to Release
