Whether you’re a University student or just a concerned anti-Monsanto activist, your voice is vitally important when it comes to getting rid of genetically modified foods from the world supply. All it takes is a few courageous steps to let your university or college know that you don’t support investments in Monsanto and other biotech companies.
Following are several ways to get your institution of higher education to divest from one of the most hated companies on the planet:

A new study published by the Environmental Working Group has revealed that biotech’s claims concerning higher crop yields are based on a bunch of hot air.
How’s this high-flying claim made by the Biotechnology Industry organization:

“Agricultural biotechnology continues to increase crop yield and farmer income worldwide while supporting the environment.”

Approximately 13 million acres of illegal GM corn have been planted in the US. Another 88% of all corn crops grown in the US are currently genetically modified. Even without being slathered in Roundup chemicals, these crops are killing us, and there is new evidence explaining why.

Think we need GMOs to feed the world? Think again. In a new analysis published by the Environmental Working Group, it is clear that genetically modified ingredients are the last thing the world needs to feed and nourish its people.

Dare to publish a scientific study against Big Biotech, and Monsanto will defame and discredit you. For the first time, a Monsanto employee admits that there is an entire department within the corporation with the simple task of ‘discrediting’ and ‘debunking’ scientists who speak out against GMOs.

It continues to be revealed to the public that the only legitimacy Monsanto and the rest of the biotech industry tout comes from payoffs, censorship, and bullying. On March 26th, Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility (PEER), an advocacy group for local, state, and federal researchers, filed a legal petition with the U.S.

The very company that scientists say has directly contributed to a 90% reduction in the monarch butterfly population is now donating to ‘help save the butterflies.’

When paradigms shift, tyrants fall, or corporations lose their market, it is often not from some spectacular event, but by a single, humanizing display. We have just witnessed such an event during the interview of high-profile GMO advocate Patrick Moore.

Recently, it appears that the WHO, scientific researchers, and medical professionals have joined the rest of the public in renouncing genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

Sure, Monsanto is listed as one of the most hated companies on the planet, but what about other biotechnology giants such as DuPont?
