Call on Office Depot, Office Max and Staples to reject paper from Genetically Engineered trees!
Despite emails and calls from over ten thousand OCA members, the US Department of Agriculture has approved a "field trial" of over 250,000 genetically modified eucalyptus in the Southeast .... The field trials are being conducted by ArborGen, a notorious biotechnology entity owned by the "Big Three" paper multinationals: International Paper, MeadWestvaco, and Rubicon,
ArborGen's GE eucalyptus has not been adequately evaluated by the USDA for potential environmental impacts. In fact, GE trees have the potential to be far more damaging than any other genetically engineered plant to date. Pollen from GE trees can travel hundreds of miles, contaminating communities and species far from the plantation.
