Soy destroying the forests and indigenous people of Paraguay http://www.youtube.com/v/VYMRiul4M2U&hl=en_US&fs=1&

Soy monoculture is now destroying the forests of Paraguay, the biodiversity, and the lives of the people there as well as exacerbating climate change. This is the quintessential example of greed run amok. The soy is grown to make "green deserts" where no other life now thrives all to satisfy export markets and the balance sheets of companies like Monsanto.

The forests and biodiversity destroyed to make way for this soy monoculture that also goes to make biofuel and animal feed is one of the main drivers of climate change and the perpetuation of our addiction to fossil fuels. And the pesticides being used on this crop (GMO) are also polluting the water and threatening the health of those who live there.Yet this is another important story that affects so many other issues that gets no coverage in the mainstream media. Another unreported crime against nature
