The USDA just released its draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) on GE alfalfa and now is our chance to demand that the USDA protect organic food from GE contamination. In the EIS, the USDA claims that their is no evidence that consumers care about the GE contamination of organic alfalfa. But it's not just alfalfa that is at risk since alfalfa is fed to dairy cows and other livestock. Organic dairy and meat products that you eat could be affected, too.

The links below are sites that will facilitate the process of letting the USDA know that you care. They have letter templates and addresses for easy use. Please go to any one of these links to get the rest of the story, but most importantly, you need to act now. We only have until February 16 to get our comments in.
