The Sonoran Desert of southern Arizona may be in the North American desert with the High Desert of central Oregon, but they are completely different ecosystems and the plants and animals that survive in one would be unable to survive the other.

Profile picture of Nicole Zur

Nicole Zur My boyfriend and I recently watched Food, Inc and learned a lot about GMO's. I also happen to be taking a biology course in which we are learning all about it, and I do not believe that the benefits outweigh the risks. Cari is right, GMO foods actually DO have pesticides. The DNA of a plant is altered, usually, by way of recombinant DNA and in particular, a plasmid, which is a small and circular DNA molecule that replicates separately from the much larger chromosome. A plasmid can carry virtually any gene and they are passed from one generation of bacteria to the next very, very quickly. Plasmids are THE key to cloning of GMO products. Honestly, you cannot mess with nature without repercussions, and this is something that many scientists concede. It's the moneymonger industry people who don't give a hoot, who coincidentally have the power to produce these products and keep the negative aspects quiet from the public.

Profile picture of Kelli

Kelli I haven't read through all the comments yet, but while I have the thought; Selective Breeding and Genetic Modification are two VERY, VERY different things. Selective Breeding is not bad, and I never said it was. I said GMO for a reason. Selective Breeding can create hardier stock, in both animals and plants to promote growth. Natural growth. They aren't injecting chemicals or unraveling DNA. Genetic Modification is bad. It is evil, no matter how much you want to tote its ability to "save" starving countries. GMO foods actually make people sick. it kills people. In a study done with lab rats, they found that by feeding this GMO food to them, that by the third generation, the instances of sterilization and abnormalities were enormous. Thank you to all who have done actual research, and have said so much about it during this discussion. This is an enormous problem, that keeps spreading because of misinformation and just plain unknowing.

The Selfish Gene by Richard Dawkins, 1976: A gene centered view of evolution. Dawkins also coined the term meme, a unit of human cultural evolution analogous to the gene, suggesting that such "selfish" replication may also model human culture, in a different sense.' Memetics subsequently became a study of cultural information transfer. via wikipedia #Richard_Dawkins #The_Selfish_Gene #Evolution #Meme #Books

Melody Reed I'm just saying if it was brought home on your shoes and then spread to your house. We take our garbage and recycling to a center, it's not picked up at the curb. And whose to say the fungus wouldn't spread around town from the recycling trucks. I'm not against the idea, I'm just saying I hope they're careful. I've seen Japanese Knot weed choke out native species along the waterways all over my state. I'm not sure how invasive this fungus is or isn't. And if it's slow moving, I think there's enough plastic in the world right now to sustain a fungus well into the next millenia.

Skye ૐ Bell Mines picked up at the curb, but yes, dime extra caution souls be needed. And if you think we sint have enough plastic you need to do some research.

Profile picture of Melody Reed

Melody Reed If the process adds more CO2 to the atmosphere, or methane as the fungi decompose then it's not such a great idea in light of global warming. We should demand an end to over packaging. We should have mandatory recycling. What's worse, I'm sure there are people out there who burn plastic in disgusting back yard burn barrels rather than be bothered to recycle. I'm afraid we're doomed. But the earth will survive without us quite well. ;-)

Roy Lepoutre It can only "eat" the plastic in it;s purest form, not the plastic we use with all the toxic ingredients. Therefore could it be a solution when all is made with the Cradle To Cradle Concept.
