Stop Gov't Subsidies for Factory Farmed Agriculture & Meat!

I was at The People's Climate March in September, 2014. It inspired me to help more to create climate justice ...will you help now? Many people there noted that we do not have a PLANet B. This is about the Environment, and the Health of us ALL!!! We need to practice sustainable methods of farming that keep us in harmony with Nature. I pray for an end to factory farms, GMOs and Roundup. Millions of tax dollars are going into Big-Agra, while cows contribute to over 51% of the green house gas problem which = climate change. Per research, Americans don't need GMO fed animal/fast food! GMO crops pollute the Earth; are known to cause cancer, infertility – as well as death to, bees, butterflies, birds, earthworms – and the micro biome of the soil itself.
They banned it in most of Europe in 1999 – because they didn't want to experiment on their citizens! We need fiber & nutrients, fresh, whole foods: vegetables grown without herbicides, insecticides, pesticides (Roundup)! We ask for these subsidies to go to individuals for personal gardens, to encourage small, local, organic-type farms, community growing spaces – and as incentives for individuals to implement usage of energy alternatives such as solar power.

Will you help create climate justice? I pray for an end to factory farms. Millions of our tax dollars are going into big-Agra toxic overload, and factory farm animal torture. These subsidies encourage meat-eating (by keeping prices very low), while cows contribute to over 51% of the green house gas problem that contributes to climate change. Per health research, Americans need NO GMO fed animal/fast food, and more fiber and fresh, whole foods like vegetables! We ask for these subsidies to shift to small, local and organic farms and community gardens – and for incentives for individuals to implement energy alternatives, such as solar & wind power.

Many countries are now banning Roundup and GMOs...From GMO Free USA:
GMO FREE SOUTH AUSTRALIA: South Australia Confirms Commitment to GMO Moratorium & Remaining GMO Free: "We're seeing [yield] increases of 50%, 100%, even 300% in some of the cases," says South Australian Agriculture Minister Leon Bignell of the results of a soil improvement program that proves grain producers do not need genetic modification technology. “Why would you go for 7% when you can get 50% to 100% increases in yield without having to use genetically modified seeds? I don’t buy the story that we need to have GM to save the world from starvation. [GMO Free is] the way of the future, that's the way that we'll increase the value of what we produce here in South Australia."
SOUTH AUSTRALIA KNOWS BETTER. GMOs: Not Wanted. Not Needed. Not Proven Safe. Boycott GMOs. READ & LISTEN to the interview: http://www.abc.net.au/…/genetic-modification-grain-…/6325276

Organic farms help the soil, and safety of our food - yet, large factory farms and GMO/ insecticide use is killing everything. We must preserve this Earth garden, and stand united to support a healthy future for us all in 2015 and beyond!
