Which are:

 - insecticide/pesticide/fertilizer products most probably made mainly by
   Monsanto (the company which cartel-manipulates the Glyphosphate market
   and has a huge hand in GM [that's Genetic Modification!] investment)
and
   Bayer (who are the result of a world-war 2 German biological weapons
   company that decided to try and look good by changing market focus).
8-)

 - fuel/lubricant products mostly made by the big global oil conglomerates
   which are also a cartel-manipulated industry.

While the environmental benefits of Ethanol fuel are high, so to are the
side-effects in terms of propping up global 'trade' artificially with the
potentially harmful flow-on effects to various segments of life on the
planet.

At least until a way is found to make energy consumption by us humans
'impact-neutral' on the global ecology of our planet. ****fting the fuel of
choice will just make the boundaries move around a little. We're still
transforming stored energy sources into other forms of energy much, much,
much faster than the ecology can re-assume back into stored energy
sources.

After all even though we're 'eating' oil reserves like it's bread and
butter
(well it is if you use margarine! lol), the planet is still making more of
it. We're using it 10^99 or greater orders of magnitude faster than it's
being created.

****fting to ethanol fuels won't stop that - just make the 'picture' have a
different 'orientation'...

And it's how industry and governments ****ft around that 'orientation' that
affects things at the consumer's end.
