populations have dropped precipitously in recent years, largely due
to pesticides so wide-ranging that they not only kill pests, but the

As much as Starbucks heralds its accomplishments as a pro-social, environmentally friendly company, they are a part of a lawsuit to prevent the state of Vermont from mandating labels on any genetically modified foods.

Tell Starbucks that this lawsuit flies in the face of their company's public profile: http://act.credoaction.com/sign/starbucks_gmo_lawsuit
Big business—and their allies in Congress—are attempting to water down the Endangered Species Act (proposed and signed into law by a Republican president, before that party by and large abandoned its environmental conservatism).
