I've bumped into people who want to kill everyone. And in all honesty I understand them. Do I agree with the method of solution, no. But, the evidence is substantial of the human population being more of a problem than a solution to the bigger picture because of the current economic, political and social models we've been following.

On June 15, sixteen year old Ethan Anthony Couch and seven friends stole alcohol from a local Walmart. After getting hammered, they decided it was a good idea to head to another store for a “beer run,” so they embarked on a brisk, drunken 70-mph cruise through a 40-mph zone.

A few hours later, four people were dead and NO ONE is being held accountable.

"One of the first to notice what was going on was Portland journalist Paul Richmond. “The unfortunate truth about community policing as it is currently being implemented is that it is anything but community based,” Richmond wrote in a 1997 article for the alternative newspaper PDXS. Instead, he wrote, in Portland the grants had resulted in “increased militarization of the police force.”

Criminologist Peter Kraska found that when most law enforcement officials heard “communi...See More

In Victoria, BC millions of litres of raw sewage are being dumped into the ocean each day, including tonnes of toxic chemicals. The Victoria sewage debate has been swirling for decades, but it's the same anti-treatment advocates sowing seeds of discontent. http://ow.ly/rFJxu

Tell the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District to stop GM mosquito experiments

Earth Tribe - Activist News shared GMO Free USA's photo.

US - Fears voiced over the planned introduction of genetically modified mosquitoes

This week, applications by British company Oxitec to release GE olive flies in Spain & Brazil, were withdrawn. The company was unable to provide evidence to the Spanish & Brazilian governments that these insects would not harm humans or the environment. Oxitec is still pushing for approval to release experimental genetically engineered mosquitoes into the Florida Keys. The FDA is, as usual, asleep at the wheel. Please sign the petition and contact the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District to update them on this very important development. Oxitec can't provide evidence of the safety of these insects and should therefore, not be allowed to release them. Tell the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District to stop GM mosquito experiments: http://keysmosquito.org/contact-form You can also call & email at this address: Phone: 305.292.7190 Email: keysmosquito@gmail.com SIGN the Petition: https://www.change.org/petitions/say-no-to-genetically-modified-mosquitoes-release-in-the-florida-keys READ: http://america.aljazeera.com/articles/2013/11/9/genetically-modifiedmosquitoessetoffuproarinfloridakeys.html READ MORE: http://www.scribd.com/doc/100213440/Issue-Brief-GE-Mosquitoes-in-U-S SAMPLE TEXT COMMENT, or write your own: I urge you to reject Oxitec’s bid to experiment with GM mosquitoes in the Florida Keys. Oxitech recently withdrew applications to release GM Olive flies in Spain & Brazil because they don't have evidence that their GM insects are safe for humans and for our environment. Oxitec admits their system isn't foolproof. About one female is accidentally released for every 1,500 male mosquitoes and the consequence of being bit by one these genetically engineered female mosquitoes is unknown. Biting female mosquitoes could inject an engineered protein into humans along with other proteins from the mosquitoes’ salivary gland. Oxitec has yet to conduct or publish any study showing that this protein is not expressed in the salivary gland and therefore cannot be passed on to humans. We need more data. If something goes wrong the consequences could be catastrophic not only for humans but also the whole ecosystem. I don’t want this experimentation done in Florida or any part of our country. ‪#‎oxitec‬ ‪#‎FDA‬ ‪#‎AedesAegypti‬ ‪#‎mosquitoes‬ ‪#‎GEMosquito‬ ‪#‎GMMosquito‬ ‪#‎florida‬ ‪#‎floridakeys‬ ‪#‎gmo‬ ‪#‎gmofreeflorida‬ ‪#‎gmofreeusa‬
