I can’t believe what I read on
Bloomberg.com, “International Paper’s
ArborGen joint venture with MeadWestvaco Corp. and New Zealand’s Rubicon Ltd. is seeking permission from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to sell the first genetically engineered forest trees outside China.” What? International Paper? It can’t be? The world’s largest pulp and paper maker promotes itself as an
environmentally responsible company, but now, it appears the company is following in the footsteps of
Monsanto and genetically modified crops.
