Thu Oct 15 2009 (Updated 10/16/09) Open Letter to All Americans: "Why Have We Become a Dumping Ground for US Chemicals & Bio"
Donna Bird, Writes:, "In New Zealand we seem to have become the dumping ground for U.S. chemicals and the experimental ground for the biotech products manufactured in the United States and we are paying the price. New Zealand is being turned into a parking lot. Our forests, waterways and our health are all being systematically destroyed by your patented products which are designed to kill things.

"We banned your nuclear ships but the thing is, it feels like you ‘nuked’ us anyway. The deaths and destruction are subtle. It will leave the infrastructure behind but the soil and water will not ensure safe habitation for who knows how long….if ever.

"Very recently we a had minor victory with the Taupo District Council banning 1080 aerial drops. This evil compound made in Alabama, enough to kill 20 million people every year, is shipped to NZ to kill opossums. Our death by poison rate is 3 times that of the road toll.

"Why is there such a need for the U.S to control everything? Why can’t you people be satisfied with what you have got? Why so greedy? Your products are destroying the world on a global scale and we’re supposed to like you? Can’t you people look at the big picture and think at least 6 generations ahead?" Read more
