Feb. 18, 2013 – GMO Protest

Costa Rica has deferred the decision on whether to allow transgenic seeds/plants to the local level. Each County is voting to reject or accept transgenic agriculture. A group of concerned citizens and friends lead by the local cooperative grocery store made their concerns known to the politicians. Atenas voted to reject Monsanto’s poisonous plants along with (at present) 50% of the other counties in the country.
