From Organic Consumers:
- Former Kansas Governor: Factory Farms are a Danger to Us All - Amen to that! Quite frankly I do not see why factory farms are still legal (other than the fact that Bush has about 20 days left in office, and intends to use each of them to screw the American people and all sentient beings on this planet).
- More U.S. Land Devoted to Organic Cotton - This is GREAT news, considering that cotton is such an environmentally harmful crop when grown using pesticides AND considering how much of our growing demand for organics is being satisfied by imports. It's good to know that more of our own land is being used for organic cotton!
From Grist: Tom Philpott recommends Vandana Shiva's Soil Not Oil. I heartily second his recommendation, even though I'm only halfway through the book!
From The Ethicurean: A fantastic news digest including details on a breaking scandal! Apparently a large California fertilizer company secretly included non-organic ingredients and then sold its fertilizer as organic to farms.
From Yale Sustainable Food Project: Wendell Berry calls for civil disobedience to protest coal! Mr. Berry, I am with you. Tell me where to show up and I'll bring the protest signs and bail money! |
