I heard on NPR last night that Monsanto saw a 40% decrease in sales last quarter.
Monsanto is the company that makes the herbicide Roundup. They also happen to be the biggest driving force behind the Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) movement. Has anyone else taken notice of their "Sustainable Agriculture" advertising push on the back of magazines such as the New Yorker? While no one likes to hear that 900 or so employees will be out of work at this difficult junction in our economic climate, I can't help but cheer for the populace's decision to restrain from purchasing their chemicals.
