I am calling on your superhero powers to please take action on this matter! Go to the Green Phone Booth, click the link at the bottom of this post, fill in your name and email address, and urge the USDA to rethink its "Food for Fuel" Policy.
USDA is poised to deregulate the world's first genetically engineered (GE) industrial crop. Similar to GE pharma crops that use corn for producing drugs, Syngenta's "Event 3272" is genetically engineered to use corn for energy (ethanol) production and not for food. This unprecedented, industrial application of a GE technology poses a variety of environmental, health, and economic risks that must be carefully evaluated to determine whether the widespread use of this GE industrial corn crop should be allowed on farms across our nation.
