the story on the news this evening. What bothered me was that <BR>only
agricultural crops are being stored. There is no way that the <BR>planet
will continue if it's planted only with corn, wheat, peanuts, <BR>coffee (to
be sure) and several other crops. So lacking is the <BR>understanding of
plant communities and ecosystems it makes me sad enough <BR>to
cry.<BR><BR>--Theresa Schrum<BR>www.eco-tlc.com<BR><BR>Olivia Kwong
