Cap the Gene Spill - an urgent message about GMO pollution
Jeffrey Smith explains the genetic pollution of the world that's being caused by GMOs. Here's some of the narration text from the video:
[GMO pollution causes] intense, insidious environmental degradation that may never be able to be cleaned up.
And just like the oil spill, you can trace it back to government incompetence and collusion, and industry manipulation -- putting out technologies that are not safe long before the science is ready.
What about the self-propagating genetic pollution? Once it gets out, it then spreads, and cross pollinates... it becomes a self-propagating pollution that could outlast the effects of global warming or nuclear waste. This is an impossible thing to clean up, and we are bequeathing to all future generations the folly of this generation.
Never before have we fed the products of an infant science to the entire population, or released it into the environment without a way to fully recall it.
So we need to cap the gene spill. Put it back in the laboratory where it belongs.
Maybe someday we can predictably and safely manipulate the DNA of plants and know what its impacts will be in the environment and in our bodies, but that day is far away.
