Life running out of control
GENETIC POLLUTION
Manipulation of human beings has been going on for centuries already, yet comparing to the situation of the last few years, it has never been so serious. The most alarming fact, however, is that most of the population is still not aware of what is going on in their surroundings, not to mention their global consciousness. The way we think about pollution has always been connected with chemistry. The stuff cleans up and fades with time, no? Well, what about pollution that behaves instead according to the rules of biology? We know that chemicals do not replicate themselves, which is something we can not assert for DNA's behaviour – such a pollutant would have the ability to copy itself over and over again, so that its impact on the environment would increase with time rather than diminish. Now THIS would be a problem. If released into the environment, the so-called genetically modified organisms (GMO or GE) could take over other inhabitants and lead the species into extinction. I don't need to be a geneticist to understand the magnitude of this threat to our ecosystems and biodiversity.
And given that Slovene parlament is preparing to approve the law about GTO in Slovenia in July 2007, I call your attention to get informed more about this, spread the knowledge via your blogs or any other way, for people to understand what could this mean for us. I have collected some links for the start:
About GE agriculture and genetic pollution:

What does the newest study on GE maize reveal:

An article about the genetical pollution of maize:

Here is also a link to a very interesting documentary video (with Slovene subtitles) about the consequences of genetically modified plants and animals and some people (Perry Schmeisser , Vandana Shiva , Andrew Kimbrell , Terje Traavik ) who fight with all their strenght against genetic engineering corporations like Monsanto and Syngenta, who want to control the world with their seeds.

Hi. Your points are very good and you’re in good company. Since 2007 many more people are learning. This post was made when I was becoming a non-GMO person. I don’t eat them anymore at all. My website has an interesting new tactic. To work we need friends. This post was a few years ago but if you’re out there I hope you’ll look. I just go online and hunt for like-minded people, invite them to see our effort and brainstorm with us because this is a good angle I think. I believe you will see our site with this post by my name but it is GMOFreePortland. You linked to Greenpeace. Have you seen their amazing contamination watch they put together with GeneWatchUK? Do you know what a provirus is? We’ve engineered DNA itself to act like one and then weaponized the heck out of it. Yes, we must act, quickly and succeed. For the Sake of Life. I have no doubt the facts will be out and recognized by the public very soon. But we need that to happen soonER.
Succeed.
