Whats wrong with using pesticides, artificial fertilisers and gmo?
Pesticides and artificial fertilisers damage healthy soil (needed to grow natural plants and crops) which has a very delicate natural balance. They also cause air, water and food pollution and have been associated with health problems from asthma to cancer. Some highly toxic pesticides that have been banned by organisations such as WHO (World Health Organisation) are still being used in some developing countries. GMOs are very bad for our environment and are not proven to be safe for our health – it’s really like playing with nature and it’s highly unpredictable. GM crops and plants are engineered to contain properties (genes) to fight off pests but nature has a way of fighting back by adapting. Some pests can build up immunity and even more chemicals are needed in the long run. For more info on gmo, please visit http://www.saynotogmos.org/.
