Mitchel Cohen - No Spray

Good evening everyone!

When I heard that a political activist came to our university to deliver a guest lecture about Barack Obama and his politics, I thought about anything, but Cohen being also active in environment protection!
I did some reference work and found out that Mitchel Cohen is a co-founder and coordinator of the NO SPRAY! organization. This organization fights against the spraying of toxic pesticides on fields or anywhere where plants grow that people will consume. And he even goes a step further and connects the guest lecture with his organization as he relates their work to the "biological" steps Obama faces in his politics. According to Cohen, Obama does not fight against genetic engineering of plants, fruit and vegetables, but he even endorses it! This goes completely against Cohen´s point of view. One can understand that he feels crestfallen as he set his hopes and desires in Obama. No Spray has been fighting against this pollution and usage of pesticides since 1999 and they are disappointed again and again.
Here is an example: "Thousands Exposed to Poison by Government´s Aerial Spraying"

It is an article by Rami Nagel about this above mentioned usage of pesticides that not only the plants but especially people are exposed to! Check it out, it describes the incidents very well!

By the way, you can also find this article and a comment on this on the organization´s own web page where you can also donate to support them. By doing this you make sure that they can have more influence on politicians so that they will change their policies to a more healthy way of living.
Then Mitchel Cohen will also be content with Barack Obama.
