France Nature Environnement: anti GMO algae and pesticides

[kumkat]

Hello,

Parisians will not see it in the metro because the RATP does not want it, but they will see it on the web :-)

To specify that it is a campaign which starts with the opening of the exhibition of agriculture.

Considering the style (debatable but that I like because apparently it is currently necessary to "shock to be talked about" ...), well it does not surprise me that the RATP did not want it ...

This is the reality and there is a lack of pesticides and herbicides associated with GMOs, with the suicide at the but drinking a bottle of Roundup for GMO i !!!


Farmers are the first victims of pesticides and herbicides and GMOs, 4 times more Parkinsons, excess cancers, diseases, and real suicides by insoluble economic problems associated with this mode of production!
Long before consumers!

[Christophe]

Actually speaking only bees is a little light ... but the skull is not that of a bee ...

So ... there is a message (indirect) of danger of death for man ...

[Leo Maximus]

.... there is a lack of pesticides and herbicides associated with GMOs ...,!

It's for the next campaign. There will be a poster showing a field being processed. The slogan is "Pesticides? No danger!" and the guy who spills the pesticides is in a diving suit.

[Christophe]

Here it makes me think that there are (approximately) 2 weeks, a farmer was "condemned" not to spread any more pesticides (and cie) the days of wind because of near "contaminated" housing estates ...

Two pesticides multiply by 2,5 the risk of suffering from Parkinson's

(AFP) - 11 Feb. 2011

WASHINGTON - People exposed to two pesticides, rotenone and paraquat, are about two-and-a-half times more likely to suffer from Parkinson's disease, according to a study conducted by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) released Friday.

"Rotenone directly inhibits the functioning of the mitochondria which makes it possible to produce the energy of the cells" of the organism, specifies Freya Kamel, researcher at the National Institute of Sciences of Environmental Health (NIEHS), which is part of the NIH , co-author of this work published online in the journal "Environmental Health Perspectives".

As for "paraquat, it increases the production of certain oxygen derivatives that can have harmful effects on cell structures," she adds in a statement.

Thus, subjects using these or other pesticides are more likely to contract Parkinson's disease - an incurable neurological disease -, the authors of this study said.

They examined 110 people with the disease and a control group of 358 subjects in a research called "Farming and Movement Evaluation" or FME so as to be able to establish a link between this disease and the fact of being exposed to. these two pesticides or other agents toxic to nervous tissue.

The FME federal study focuses on approximately 90.000 professional exterminators and their spouses.

Paraquat or rotenone are not used in pesticides intended for individuals to treat their garden or home.

The use of paraquat is limited to certified professionals primarily because of fears that this product will increase the risk of Parkinson's disease based on animal studies.

Rotenone is only authorized as a pesticide to destroy invasive species of fish.

Reactions to the FNE campaign: enough manipulation!

Ministers and other representatives of agribusiness are protesting against France Nature Environnement's latest campaign denounced as "insulting" to farmers.

Gentlemen politicians and industrialists, it is your reaction that is insulting and manipulative! Enough ! It is you who are diverting this campaign against farmers to stir hatred and divisions, but most of all to distract from the real issues this campaign raises!

Farmers are the first victims of agri-business!
The child playing on the beach in the green algae is the son of a Breton farmer. Look closely: he is alone. Her father died last year from a long illness due to repeated exposure to "phytosanitary" products. Her mother is not there: strangled by debts and forced to sell her production at indecent prices imposed by supermarkets, on Sundays she is a cashier in the local hyper (it is open: we are in the tourist area) .

The young man who points to his head an ear of corn loaded with GMOs is also a farmer. He can not cope and the price of pork (GM maize fed) has just dropped. Pushed to the end he sees no solution. He wants to finish it. He does not know that another agriculture is possible, which would enable him to live decently from a rewarding and satisfying work. Neither his chamber of agriculture nor his cooperative spoke to him about it ...

Another agriculture is possible: let's do it with farmers, for them, for our country and for our children!

Ministers and industry, the debate you are rejecting is precisely the one this campaign raises: what agriculture do we want? This is a debate that the citizens we are beginning to seize.

And alternatives exist. Agrobiology, Rameal Wood Fragmented, agroforestry, abandoning plowing, direct seeding under cover ... far from an illusory retreat, farmers such as those we defend at Atanka experiment, innovate and invent the agriculture of tomorrow, respectful soil, nature and people.

While these experiments should be encouraged and financed by our taxes as possible avenues to improve the food and health of populations, not to mention our environment, these farmers must constantly fight against a system that seeks at all costs to bring in the rank.

Yet it is with them that our future is invented. Including that of farmers, who have now become the "exploited farmers" of the agribusiness but who could thus regain the dignity of the profession of peasant.

What we need today is a great national and citizen debate on agriculture, food and public health, which should lead to a national and ambitious plan for massive conversion of our agriculture - with Farmers. A mobilizing plan that will reconcile these farmers with their profession, with their land and with the people they feed.

Why stigmatize this point of this campaign?

Ministers and industry, stupid, offensive or insulting advertising campaigns do not bother you when it comes to stupefying and enslaving the consumer to make him swallow anything (in every sense of the word) without thinking.

But with this campaign, citizens are turning against a system the weapons that they usually use to subdue them and reduce them to the rank of consumer.

This campaign is good: it helps us to drop the shopping cart to ask questions and to think again.

Times change: the consumer becomes a citizen again ...

Part of it is about pesticides.

What "shocks" me the most about this advertising campaign is precisely the fact of considering it as shocking!
On the contrary, I find all this very nice in relation to reality.

Freedom of expression is really in the wings nowadays.
