PLUNDER OF THE WEEK:
Wal-Mart is being investigated for falsely
advertising conventional products as "organic." The
Cornucopia Institute has discovered several Wal-Mart stores implementing
organic signage for products that were grown with pesticides and
synthetic fertilizers. A formal legal complaint has been filed
with the USDA asking the agency to investigate allegations of
illegal "organic" food distribution by Wal-Mart Stores,
Inc.


ALERT
OF THE WEEK: CORPORATIONS SEEK TO PATENT WILDLIFE IN NATIONAL
PARKS

The National Park Service took a giant step in September towards
further commercialization of the natural resources in our National
Parks. Specifically, the Park Service released an environmental
impact statement that could clear the way for corporations to
"bioprospect" for microorganisms and other wildlife
in national parks like Yellowstone. If the Park Service gets its
way, corporations will be allowed to mine, exploit, patent, and
profit from the lands and wildlife that we are all supposed to
be stewarding.
