To Map GMO or Not?
Greenpeace France has been told by a French court to remove a map from its website that shows the location of genetically modified (GMO) maize fields. The court says that only experimental field locations must be made public. Greenpeace will likely move the map to an internation website and maintains that EU laws state that all GMO field locations be made public. That legislation has not yet been adopted by the French government.
About half of all GMO test fields in France are destroyed each year.
Here’s Greenpeace’s response.
So today we have responded by carving a giant ‘X’ crop circle into one of the GE maize fields in question, marking the spot of the GE maize field that is now censored from Greenpeace Frances’ webpage.
