    Groups from Alabama, New Jersey, and Los Angeles are battling commercial contamination in their neighborhoods. Most of these areas are inhabited with poor people of color who feel their civil rights are being violated. Sewage overflows, contaminated water, and air quality are just a few of the issues they are fighting.

    Proponents of GM foods say that the higher yields and improved nutritional content are necessary to ensure adequate food for the world's growing population. Opponents say any claimed benefits of GM foods are unproven, and cite the lack of safety studies and the real and potential dangers to human health and the environment as reasons to ban the products.

    After skimming the article it is safe to say these GMO foods have several negative effects on the human health and environmental health. Environmentalists fear farmers will need to spray crops with pesticides is upsetting. These GMO foods are doing more harm than good and should be banned. The fact stated about independent farmers are at risk of being sued or having to pay a fee for there crops being contaminated is disgusting and seems to be another was for the system to profit more money.

    I enjoyed reading the article and have been somewhat following the issue of GMO's for a couple of years. Anytime a company (Monsanto) owns a majority of a product in a free enterprise society, that is when people should be worried. Not only has Monsanto's product been proven unsafe-the company is forming a monopoly.

    GMO's are absolutely terrible. I'm excited to learn more about them just so that I can watch my health later on in life. I'm currently also doing my research paper on GMO's with food and nutrition. I can't wait to take my Patho class as well just so I can learn exactly how GMO's affect the human body.

    Climate Change is a huge issue and really needs to be resolved. We're fighting for the policies and we need to realize the impacts and be more sustainable, corporate, and save the planet. We only have one.

    Climate change is bigger than us, and very few realize that. We need to take action in order to save the earth! Climate change is affecting countries all over.

    I agree that climate change is a severe issue in today's world. Methods on reduction of contamination such as carbon dioxide and methane being released into our environment need to be enforced since pollutants like these play a huge factor in climate change.

    Human activity, especially greenhouse gas emissions, is considered the dominant cause of temperature increases.
