Crazy extremists. Don't they know whipper-snappers run on gasoline and emit CO2 into the air?

No.

Emitting a little bit of CO2 is fine, and most weedeaters today run on electricity anyways.

GMOs are very bad for the environment, and Australia has enough issues as it is with things like Cane Toads running around and eating everything in sight.

Genetically Modified Organisms are extremely hazardous, as they can pass along the genes that they have that infer pesticide/herbicide resistance, self-synthesized insecticides, and much more that we are only finding out about in recent times.

Monsanto, the company responsible for most of these agricultural nightmares, makes these plants without any regard to their effects on the people who grow natural produce or the environment.

GMOs are a good way to produce more food with lower losses, but the risks are really too much to consider the benefits; some more recent research has even shown that the proteins and other products that are produced by the artificially introduced genes can cause disorders in people and animals.
