Andrew's Blog

Another group, like us, are doing research about pesticides and herbicides. I chose to go to Andrew's Blog and post this post about one of his sources.

His source: http://www.coha.org/2007/08/13/pesticide%E2%80%99s-victims-will-finally-come-before-a-us-court/

He states that 15% of agriculture products we export and inport today come from Latin America. He also states that Latin America's exports do not meet our standards.

I feel that this is not true. From my research, I feel that we rely a lot on Latin America and their workers because we are too lazy to do it ourselves. The pesticides and herbicides that they use are to help the crops grow so that they can export them to the rest of the world. All though there is the controversy about the effect of those pesticides, it is not their fault for trying to meet our needs.

I also feel that this website was very useful in the sence that we would get to learn the peoples perspective on it, and not just the scientists telling us that these are bad and we don't need them.

Today, Kerstin and I worked on the script and flash since Danielle is gone. The script is due tomorrow and we are pretty well off, but still need work.
