thanks so much for your post! I was a bit queasy when I read it at first, because the only way to insert the toxic-eating bacteria was to genetically modify the plant. a lot of people will be very concerned about this. I do not believe that ALL genetic engineering is "bad"; however, we must proceed with much caution when using this approach. This particular example seems to show the genius the human race is capable of. I would be concerned, however, if the GMO approach starts involving trees and other plants. There is always the potential to contaminate native species and forever change their genetic makeup.

I also believe that the planet is NOT doomed, but it will take a lot of people becoming awake and aware of Gaia as a living BEing, not just a large rock to dump our excrement and waste upon. See the article below: I do believe that Gaia will cleanse herself by any means necessary, even if it means the deaths of many humans in the process; however, I do not believe the whole human race will be destroyed. Example: Southeast Asian tsunami, recent hurricanes, etc.

Isaac George, who channels ArchAngel Ariel, discusses scientist James Lovelock's theory that we are "past the point of no return" re: the environmental degradation of the Earth. George tells us that Gaia is capable of saving Herself. We humans are required to become "spiritual ecologists" in order for us to save ourselves: http://curezone.com/blogs/m.asp?f=356&i=82
