Oh Dear !

Where to start ?

Monsanto ?
Bovine growth Hormone, causes mastitis in cows=more antibiotics in milk products.
Aspartame/Nutrasweet, causes seizures and brain cancer (allegedly)
Genetically engineered crops/foods, nobody knows, and we won't until its too late. GE soya oil could be in 60% of our food products and we won't know because its not labelled.

Shell Oil?
Ken Saro Wiwa,
Rape of Nigeria,
Deaths of indigenous peoples in Peru,
Bent Spar

Castrol Motor Oils/ Burmah Petrol
Persecution of Democratic leaders in Myanmar/Burma

Mitsubishi ?
Destruction of old growth forests in Siberia and elsewhere

Nestle/Wyeth/Baby Milk Industry ?
Boycotted by organisations worldwide because of their dubious marketing practices in third world countries.


Where do we start ?
I haven't knowingly purchased goods produced by any of the above companies for at least three years now. I ask everybody who reads this to do the same.

Whats the best way of making more people aware of the issues ?
