Greenpeace: Transgenic Food (GMOs) and dangers of electronic waste.

Genetic engineering: The world's greatest scam?

(French version -- http://www.greenpeace.org/ogm)
Genetic engineering is a threat to food security, especially in a changing climate. The introduction of genetically manipulated organisms by choice or by accident grossly undermines sustainable agriculture and in so doing, severely limits the choice of food we can eat.

Once GE plants are released into the environment, they are out of control. If anything goes wrong - they are impossible to recall.

GE contamination threatens biodiversity respected as the global heritage of humankind, and one of our world's fundamental keys to survival.




Transgenic Foods (GMO)

An animationfilm to illustrate the set of problems with genetically manipulated foods. Created by Simon Jochum.

Many people are having the opinion that they do not have any contact to genetically modified food. But nearly everybody has contact to those goods without knowing. The animation "Transgenic Foods" is focussed on that point. The consumers awareness should be raised by that spot. It will highlight the current situation and potential future problems. The consumer is asked to obtain information and to form his own opinion and to act accordingly.

Following the E-waste Trail

Greenpeace has been investigating the immoral and illegal e-waste dumping in developing countries since 2002. After China, India, Pakistan and Ghana, this is the story of how one very broken TV managed to avoid being tested and recycled according to EU regulations and instead ended up in Nigeria as "second hand goods"
