May 3, 2013 - DR. VANDANA SHIVA Biotechnology Regulatory Authority of India (BRAI) Bill 2013 By Dr Vandana Shiva Immediately after the then Minister of environment Jairam Ramesh announced a moratorium on BT Brinjal, a Biotechnology Regulatory Authority of India (BRAI) suddenly emerged . BRAI could not be passed in 2010 and 2011 because of objections by citizens and parliament, but it has surfaced again as a 2013 Bill. While it is presented as a Biotechnology Regulation Act, it is in fact a Biotechnology Deregulation Act, designed to dismantle the existing Biosafety regulation. That is why ,in the area of Food and Agriculture it can be called India’s Monsanto Protection Act that gives corporations like Monsanto immunity by freeing them of courts and democratic control under our federal structure, just like the US Monsanto Protection Act through which Monsanto sneaked in section 735 under the HR 993 Act to give itself immunity. http://www.navdanya.org/blog/?p=683 April 23, 2013 ++++INDIAN GOVERNMENT SNEAKS IN DEEPLY FLAWED BIOTECH BILL GIVING FREE REIN TO INDUSTRY http://www.gmfreein.org/content/govt-betrays-nation-earth-day-tables-deeply-flawed-biotech-regulatory-authority-india-brai-0 INDIA - WHERE MONSANTO HIDES OUT: GENETIC ENGINEERING HAS NOT LIVED UP TO IT'S CLAIMS, SAYS SCIENTIST http://sco.lt/74EQ53 WHY THE MOST POWERFUL THING IN THE WORLD IS A SEED - THE GLOBAL CORPORATE MONOPOLY IN SEED PATENTS http://sco.lt/5O0tFZ +++USA: NEW 'MONSANTO PROTECTION ACT' GIVES IMMUNITY FROM FEDERAL LAW, MINIMUM REGULATION AND OVERSIGHT TO POWERFUL BIOTECH CARTEL http://sco.lt/5I0Oi9 +++OBAMA QUIETLY DE-REGULATES GMO/ GENETIC BIOTECH INDUSTRY : Fast-tracking Approvals, Waiving Regulations, Oversight and Liability http://sco.lt/5uCx8b +++FRANKENFOODS HITCH AN "ANONYMOUS" RIDE THROUGH USA CONGRESS - GMO NOW FREE FROM LIABILITY AND REGULATION AND OVERSIGHT http://sco.lt/7cjwu1 May 8, 2013 Nation Of Change ALL ABOUT THE NEW STRANGEHOLD GMO EU SEED LAW http://www.nationofchange.org/all-about-new-eu-seed-law-1368022078 May 7, 2013 Nation of Change NEW STUDY PROVES Bt TOXINS IN GMOs TOXIC TO MAMMALIAN BLOOD http://www.nationofchange.org/new-study-proves-bt-toxins-gmos-toxic-mammalian-blood-1367936953 ON SEED FREEDOM AND SHARING http://sco.lt/8EfiHR THE PESTICIDE PESTILENCE: NEONICOTINOID-COATED WILD BIRD SEEDS DEADLY TO ONG BIRDS AND WILDLIFE http://focusingonwildlife.com/news/conservation-group-seeks-assurance-that-wild-bird-seed-products-are-pesticide-free/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=conservation-group-seeks-assurance-that-wild-bird-seed-products-are-pesticide-free #BEES http://ow.ly/kWtVQ MONSANTO: A CORPORATE PROFILE From Saccharin to GE Seed - Chemicals for Food, Agriculture, War http://sco.lt/5TGVDl GENETIC MODIFICATION STRAINS OLD FOOD AND DRUG LAWS: HOW A FISH BECOMES A DRUG AND CORN A PEST Genetic modification strains old food and drug laws - How a fish becomes a drug and corn a pest http://sco.lt/6vynBp GMOs AND BIOTECH: THE FOOD FIGHT OF OUR LIVES - CROSSING ROSES WITH PIGS AND BUTTERFLIES WITH WORMS http://sco.lt/4olIPJ April 3, 2013 - IFEX HOW THE BIOTECH INDUSTRY IS GAGGING THE SCIENCE AROUND GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOOD http://www.ifex.org/international/2013/04/04/seeds_of_dissent/ 27 February 2013 TruthOut GM SEEDS AND THE MILITARIZATION OF FOOD - AND EVERYTHING ELSE http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/14784-activist-seeds-of-gm-foods-war-vsearth-planted-by-military-industrial-forces 28 March, 2013 - Nation of Change BIO-DEMOCRACY OR CORPORATOCRACY: THE FOOD FIGHT OF OUR LIVES http://www.nationofchange.org/biodemocracy-or-corporatocracy-food-fight-our-lives-1364483920http://ow.ly/jA9xQ THE NEXT GMO BIOTECH WAVE: EXTREME SYNTHETIC GENETICS: THE IMPLICATION, THE ETHICS http://sco.lt/6TyUmv THE NEW BIOMASSTERS - SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY AND THE NEXT ASSAULT ON BIODIVERSITY AND LIVELIHOODS: ETC Group www.etcgroup.org/content/new-biomassters >> WHY IS OUR FOOD BEING MADE AND MODIFIED BY THE WORLD'S LARGEST PESTICIDE MANUFACTURERS? http://gmo-awareness.com/all-about-gmos/gmo-defined/ 21st CENTURY OWNERSHIP OF LIFE: BIOTECH IS RE-ENGINEERING, RE-PROGRAMMING AND PATENTING LIFE ITSELF.

29 April 2013 - LifeWise Europe will enforce the world’s first continent-wide ban on widely used insecticides linked to serious harm in bees, after a European commission vote on Monday, April 29, 2013. The landmark suspension is a victory for millions of environment campaigners concerned about dramatic declines in bees who were backed by experts at the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA). But it is a serious defeat for the chemical companies who make billions a year from the products and also UK ministers, who both argued that the ban will harm food production. “Today’s pesticide ban throws Europe’s bees a vital lifeline, following a massive campaign backed by 2.6 million people,” said Iain Keith, at Avaaz. “Europe is taking science seriously and must now put the full ban in place, to give bees the breathing space they need.”... http://southweb.org/lifewise/europe-will-enforces-worlds-first-continent-wide-ban-on-insecticides-harming-bees/ May 22, 2013 Focusing On Wildlife U.S. LOSES NEARLY A THIRD OF ITS HONEY BEES THIS SEASON http://focusingonwildlife.com/news/u-s-loses-nearly-a-third-of-its-honey-bees-this-season/ May 10, 2013 Australian Geographic WHY OUR NATURAL POLLINATORS ARE CRUCIAL: HOW PLANTS HAVE SEX http://www.australiangeographic.com.au/journal/gallery-how-plants-have-sex.htm THE ULTIMATE KILLING MACHINE: NEW CHARGES AGAINST MONSANTO'S "PESTICIDE" ROUNDUP http://sco.lt/5bdPhx WATCH: Video: WHAT'S KILLING THE BEES AND YOU: Vanishing of the Bees - Beekeeper Leaks EPA Document" - YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_0Mrm9Y6khk#!

14 Jan 2013 World Development Movement The UK government is yet again undermining grassroots poverty alleviation by channelling UK aid towards huge agribusiness. The Hunger Games, a report recently published by War on Want, criticises the Department for International Development (DfID) for working with the ‘who’s who’ of agrochemical and GM seed companies including Monsanto, Unilever and Syngenta. In coalition with these companies, DfID is funding dodgy agricultural initiatives such as the Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa (AGRA). This initiative in particular seeks to “trigger a uniquely African green revolution” by promoting networks of GM seed and agrochemical providers to small farmers.... http://www.wdm.org.uk/multinational-corporations/hunger-games REPORT: THE HUNGER GAMES 2012 - DOWNLOAD.pdf http://www.waronwant.org/attachments/The%20Hunger%20Games%202012.pdf May 21, 2013 Jeffrey Hollender THE POVERTY CREATION INDUSTRY http://www.jeffreyhollender.com/?p=2799 HOW NOT TO "FEED THE WORLD" http://sco.lt/6fKNnN BEWARE OF A CALL FOR A "GREENER REVOLUTION' CORPORATE TAKEOVER OF GLOBAL FOOD SUPPLY http://sco.lt/7sYm1Z >>>>>WATCH VIDEO: THE MYTH OF THE AFRICAN 'GREEN REVOLUTION' - Vandana Shiva http://www.scoop.it/t/agriculture-gmos-pesticides/p/1562042292/the-myth-of-the-african-green-revolution-video-vandana-shiva AFRICA - SOLD: OBAMA PUTS BIG 6 CHEMICAL GMO GIANTS IN CHARGE OF 'ENDING HUNGER' IN AFRICA http://www.scoop.it/t/agriculture-gmos-pesticides/p/1837261743/africa-sold-obama-puts-big-6-chemical-gmo-giants-in-charge-of-ending-hunger-in-africa THE GMO JUGGERNAUT: FULL LIST OF COMPANIES INVOLVED IN G8's MULTI-NATIONAL GMO TAKEOVER: All Powerful Corporations Form Global Cartel to push genetically engineered, biotech food onto the world.

January 22, 2013 Global Possibilities There are massively disturbing ethical, environmental, and health concerns that make the introduction of Frankenfish highly controversial... Frankenfish could be on your dinner plate by the end of the year. On December 21, at the very end of the last business day before Christmas week, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) quietly released its environmental assessment that found “no significant impact” from the controversial AquaBounty AquaAdvantage transgenic salmon.,, What is the rationale behind genetically engineered salmon? Why have scientists spliced genes from an eel-like creature called the ocean pout into the genome of the Atlantic salmon? These genes crank out growth hormone year-round, resulting in a fish that grows faster, cutting the time to reach market weight almost in half. This could mean cost savings for fish farmers, leading to higher profits for the salmon farming industry and (they promise) lower prices for consumers.

May 1, 2013 Earth Justice, San Francisco, CA — The National Research Council today issued a report finding that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) must do more to ensure that pesticides do not harm threatened and endangered fish and wildlife. Among the report's, Assessing Risks to Endangered and Threatened Species from Pesticides recommendations are that EPA more broadly account for pesticides’ direct and indirect harm to wildlife—including harm that is not immediately lethal, and impacts to food supply and habitat—and better consider the combined effects of exposure to multiple pesticides mixing in the environment....

May 8, 2013 Common Dreams Foodopoly. It’s about the corporate control of every aspect of our food system, from how what we eat is labeled to the pesticides we’re exposed to. We, the people, must reclaim our democracy. We must reestablish strong antitrust laws to begin the work of fixing our broken, corporate-controlled food system. Our food system should work for consumers and farmers, not big agricultural, processing, retail, and chemical conglomerates. How has consolidation enabled Monsanto, Tyson, Nestle, Kraft, Cargill, McDonalds and other giant companies to write our food policy, and why is it about to get worse? Foodopoly delves into the history of food and farm policy to explain how the food supply became so consolidated. For example, only four gigantic companies process 80 percent of the beef we eat, and only four retailers sell 50 percent of the groceries. Today, one out of every three dollars spent on groceries in the United States goes to Walmart. The top 10 fast-food companies control 47 percent of all fast food sales. Together, these industries have commandeered local economies, and now it is clear that the era of family farmers and mom and pop stores has ended. What’s not as clear is the effect this has on our political system... http://www.commondreams.org/view/2013/05/08-7 @WenonahHauter - Wenonah Hauter's new book Foodopoly exposes the real culprits threatening our food system — consolidation and corporate control — which are preventing farmers from raising healthy crops and limiting the choices people can make in the grocery store.

Executives from Monsanto Co., DuPont, and Dow Chemical, among the world's largest developers of biotech crops and the chemicals used to help produce them, told Reuters this week they are putting together a campaign aimed at turning the tide on what they acknowledge is a growing public sentiment against genetically modified organisms (GMOs) used as ingredients in the nation's food supply... http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/04/25/us-usa-gmo-labeling-idUSBRE93O18S20130425 WATCH: >>> MONSANTO A DOCUMENTARY ON GMO A MUST WATCH YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omtYlsG1P5U May 22, 2013 Common Dream WORLDWIDE MARCH AGAINST MONSANTO - SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 2013 http://www.commondreams.org/headline/2013/05/22-9 March 22, 2013 TruthOut THE GROWING GLOBAL CHALLENGE TO MONSANTO'S MONOPOLISTIC GREED http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/16516-the-growing-global-challenge-to-monsantos-monopolistic-greed May 21, 2013 Monsanto Declares a Sneaky Social Media War Against Protesters http://www.theorganicprepper.ca/monsanto-declares-social-media-war-against-protesters-05212013 29 November 2012 Top U.S. Health Giant, Kaiser Permanente, Says Buy Organic for Proper Health: Avoid GMOs http://readersupportednews.org/news-section2/318-66/14767-focus-top-us-healthcare-giant-gmos-are-devastating-health ************************ GLOBAL PROTEST - MARCH 25, 2013 ************ against biotechnology company Monsanto is slated to span six continents and include demonstrations in dozens of countries around the globe.

October 10, 2012 Mother Jones, Tom Philpott A blistering new Oxfam report debunks the theory that export crops are the best use of land in the developing world. This idea dominates the marketing material of giant agrichemical firms like Monsanto. "In order to feed the world's growing population, farmers must produce more food in the next fifty years than they have in the past 10,000 years combined"... The globe's farms are already producing enough food to feed 12 billion people—twice the current population and a third again more than the peak of 9 billion expected to be reached in 2050. Yet at least 925 million people lack access to enough to eat. What causes hunger isn't insufficient crop yields but rather people's economic relationships to food: whether they have access to land to grow it, or sufficient income to buy it. http://www.motherjones.com/tom-philpott/2012/10/want-feed-world-first-stop-land-grabs May 21, 2013 Jeffrey Hollender THE POVERTY CREATION INDUSTRY http://www.jeffreyhollender.com/?p=2799 WATCH: PBSNewshour Video Report +++IN EL SALVADOR, AMERICAN JUNK FOOD CREATING CHAOS WITH HEALTH, CHILDREN AND CULTURAL NORMS http://sco.lt/5qSxOL FAST FOOD, SLOW DEATH : "Food Deserts" and the Corporate Food Monopoly http://www.scoop.it/t/agriculture-gmos-pesticides/p/3599063380/fast-food-slow-death-food-deserts-and-the-corporate-food-monopoly March-April 2012 Watershed Sentinel CORN ON THE BORDER - NAFTA & DRASTIC FOOD CHANGES IN MEXICO http://www.watershedsentinel.ca/content/corn-border-line-how-nafta-changed-food-security-mexico THE HUNGER GAMES - HOW UK, USA SUPPORT FOR BIG AGRIBUSINESS IS FUELING POVERTY IN AFRICA http://sco.lt/5wKm1Z FOOD AID FOR THE 21st CENTURY: MEETING THE OBJECTIVE...OR FEEDING THE BIG AG BIOTECH CHEMICAL CARTEL GRAVY TRAIN? http://sco.lt/6ksGS9 GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROPS NOT THE SOLUTION FOR "FEEDING THE WORLD" http://sco.lt/77BuML UN: THE ERA OF EVER-LASTING PRODUCTION BASED ON MAXIMIZING PROFITS HAS REACHED ITS LIMITS http://sco.lt/6C3RoH WATCH: VIDEO+++"LAND RUSH.

COUNCIL FOR RESPONSIBLE GENETICS - GENE WATCH Synthetic biology is a nascent but rapidly growing field, worth over $1.6 billion in annual sales today and expected to grow to 10.8 billion by 2016.3 Many of the largest energy, chemical, forestry, pharmaceutical, food and agribusiness corporations are investing in synthetic biology research and development or establishing joint ventures, and a handful of products have already reached the cosmetic, food, and medical sectors with many others not far behind. Much of this focus is being placed on agriculture applications to become the next wave of GMOs - let's call them synthetically modified organisms (SMOs).... THE PERILS OF SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY What's different and possibly more hazardous about synthetic biology is that the DNA sequences and genes being used are increasingly different than those found in nature. While some of these developments sound promising, synthetic biology also has a dark side. If an SMO were to be released into the environment, either intentionally (say, as an agricultural crop) or unintentionally from a lab, they could have serious and irreversible impacts on the ecosystem. Synthetic organisms may become our next invasive organisms, finding an ecological niche, displacing wild populations and disrupting entire ecosystems.8 SMOs will lead to genetic pollution-as happens commonly with GMOs-and create synthetic genetic pollution which will be impossible to clean up or recall. Using genes synthesized on a computer instead of those originally found in nature also raises questions about human safety and the possibility that SMOs could become a new source of food allergens or toxins... Biotechnology is already regulated poorly in the U.S., and SMOs will only push the boundaries of this antiquated regulatory system. For example, the U.S. Department of Agriculture regulates GMOs through plant pest laws, since most have been engineered through a plant virus. Synthetic biology opens up the possibility for SMOs to be created without plant viruses, meaning those crops may be completely unregulated by the USDA-or any agency.,, http://www.councilforresponsiblegenetics.org/GeneWatch/GeneWatchPage.aspx?pageId=458 May 7, 2014 New York Times A DREAM OF GLOWING TREES IS ASSAILED FOR GENE-TINKERING (And when pollen disperses into natural environment or pollen insects like bees, birds, butterflies feed off them?) http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/08/business/energy-environment/a-dream-of-glowing-trees-is-assailed-for-gene-tinkering.html?emc=tnt&tntemail1=y&_r=0 GLOWING PLANTS: NATURAL LIGHTING WITH NO ELECTRICITY?

April 2, 2013 - New York Times - Mark Brittman Congress should put the public interest first, especially when there’s more to learn about genetically engineered crops... Genetic engineering in agriculture has disappointed many people who once had hopes for it. Excluding, of course, those who’ve made money from it, appropriately represented in the public’s mind by Monsanto. That corporation, or at least its friends, recently managed to have an outrageous rider slipped into the 587-page funding bill Congress sent to President Obama.[1] The rider essentially prohibits the Department of Agriculture from stopping production of any genetically engineered crop once it’s in the ground, even if there is evidence that it is harmful. That’s a pre-emptive Congressional override of the judicial system, since it is the courts that are most likely to ask the U.S.D.A. to halt planting or harvest of a particular crop. President Obama signed the bill last week (he kind of had to, to prevent a government shutdown) without mentioning the offensive rider [2] (he might have), despite the gathering of more than 250,000 signatures protesting the rider by the organization Food Democracy Now! http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/04/02/why-do-g-m-o-s-need-protection/ May 13, 2013 Moyers and Company - Full Show: WATCH: "THE WAR ON SCIENCE AND TOXIC DIS-INFORMATION http://billmoyers.com/episode/full-show-the-toxic-politics-of-science/ May 18, 2013 Moyers and Company "BLINDING US FROM SCIENCE" | Q&A http://billmoyers.com/2013/05/18/blinding-us-from-science/ April 3, 2013 - IFEX HOW THE BIOTECH INDUSTRY IS GAGGING THE SCIENCE AROUND GENETICALLY MODIFIED FOOD http://www.ifex.org/international/2013/04/04/seeds_of_dissent/ 28 March, 2013 - Nation of Change BIO-DEMOCRACY OR CORPORATOCRACY: THE FOOD FIGHT OF OUR LIVES http://www.nationofchange.org/biodemocracy-or-corporatocracy-food-fight-our-lives-1364483920 THE PESTICIDE PESTILENCE: NEONICOTINOID-COATED WILD BIRD SEEDS DEADLY TO SONG BIRDS AND WILDLIFE ..

OWNING THE SEEDS OF LIFE http://sco.lt/7xzzFJ April 23, 2013 - The South African Civil Society Information Service IS AFRICA ABOUT TO LOSE THE RIGHT TO HER SEED? Seed and the control of seed lies at the heart of agriculture. In Africa around 80% of seed comes from local and community saved seed resources. This seed is adapted to local conditions. It forms an integral part of community food security and agricultural integrity. This entire traditional system is now under threat. A broad front of commercial interests, aided and abetted by the World Bank, the American Seed Association and government agencies, along with front groups, academics and so-called philanthropists, are endeavouring to alienate this crucial resource. The international seed industry, owned by massive multinational pesticide companies involved in promoting hybrid and genetically modified (GM) seed, is both a primary beneficiary and protagonist of this thrust. While the motivation is ostensibly to assist the development of African agriculture, the impacts will be widespread and dire. http://www.sacsis.org.za/site/article/1638 ANOTHER OPTION: February 12, 2013 Share The World' Resources ON SEED FREEDOM AND SHARING http://www.stwr.org/food-security-agriculture/on-seed-freedom-and-sharing.html PURSUING THE PROMISE OF PERENNIAL GRAINS http://ensia.com/articles/pursuing-the-promise-of-perennial-grains/April 4, 2013 - Yes Magazine When the dwindling number of farmers who stayed on the land gave up on saving seeds and embraced hybridization, genetically modified organisms, and seed patents in order to make money, we became slaves to multinational corporations like Monsanto and Syngenta, which now control our food supply.... http://www.yesmagazine.org/issues/how-cooperatives-are-driving-the-new-economy/why-the-most-powerful-thing-in-the-world-is-a-seed?utm_source=apr13yn&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=titleMostPowerfulThingSeed --------------------------------WATCH----------------------------------- WATCH: Vandana Shiva: CORPORATE MONOPOLY OF SEEDS MUST END http://www.scoop.it/t/agriculture-gmos-pesticides/p/2920670940/vandana-shiva-corporate-monopoly-of-seeds-must-end WATCH: Vandana Shiva "THE FUTURE OF FOOD" Part 1, 2, 3 http://southweb.org/lifewise/gmo-patents-turn-farmers-saving-seeds-into-thieves-vandana-shiva/ WATCH: "MONSANTO FOOD WARS: GMO SEEDS AND ANIMALS" http://www.scoop.it/t/agriculture-gmos-pesticides/p/3997411054/watch-monsanto-food-wars-gmo-seeds-and-animals WATCH: MONSANTO AND THE SEEDS OF SUICIDE http://sco.lt/84jT17 WATCH: "GENETIC ROULETTE - THE GAMBLE OF OUR LIVES" - YouTube 1:24:59 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrWRzxMUfDE WATCH: MONSANTO FOOD WARS: GMO SEEDS AND ANIMALS - YouTube http://ow.ly/jeIKu WATCH: THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MONSANTO (FULL LENGTH) The Leader of the Biotech Cartel http://sco.lt/7FFsXZ WATCH: A SYSTEM BASED ON PROFITS IS UNSUSTAINABLE ....Vandana Shiva on Industrial Agriculture http://www.scoop.it/t/agriculture-gmos-pesticides/p/1614565249/a-system-based-on-profits-is-unsustainable-vandana-shiva-on-industrial-agriculture WATCH: +++THE WORLD ACCORDING TO MONSANTO (FULL LENGTH) THE LEADER OF THE CHEMICAL BIOTECH CARTEL http://sco.lt/7FFsXZ -----MORE ON SEED PATENTS ----- OWNING THE SEEDS OF LIFE PATENTS: HOW MONSANTO OUTFOXED THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION http://sco.lt/8OMWHZ -- FOOD SAFETY GROUP CALLS FOR COURT TO LIMIT GMO SEED PATENTS http://sco.lt/6BGF7p -- RECLAIMING THE SEED: THE FIRST LINK IN THE FOOD CHAIN http://sco.lt/76218j -- "BITTER SEEDS" Film Trailer: MONSANTO, GMO SEEDS AND INDIAN FARMER SUICIDES http://sco.lt/5F90Mr -- GENETICALLY MODIFIED CROPS NOT THE SOLUTION FOR "FEEDING THE WORLD" http://sco.lt/77BuML -- CANCER OF CORRUPTION, SEEDS OF DESTRUCTION: THE MONSANTO GMO WHITEWASH http://www.scoop.it/t/agriculture-gmos-pesticides/p/3826752991/cancer-of-corruption-seeds-of-destruction-the-monsanto-gmo-whitewash March 27, 2013 TruthOut MONSANTO'S DEATH PATENTS http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/15267-monsantos-death-patents May 11, 2013 Focusing on Wildlife CONSERVATION GROUP SEEKS ASSURANCE THAT WILD BIRD SEED PRODUCTS ARE PESTICIDE (AND GMO) FREE http://focusingonwildlife.com/news/conservation-group-seeks-assurance-that-wild-bird-seed-products-are-pesticide-free/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=conservation-group-seeks-assurance-that-wild-bird-seed-products-are-pesticide-free BATTLE FOR THE BEES: Dying Bees Raise Alarm For Humans - Europe Bans Pesticide http://sco.lt/8QOFgv
