S.O.S. Plegde
Path To Freedom Save Our Seeds Pledge
This was started back in July this year...this is a pledge I'll happily make!
From the Path To Freedom site here.
I pledge to take back control over the most sacred form of plant life - seeds
I will strive to save my own seeds, encourage self pollination and self seeding “volunteers”
Refrain from purchasing seed varieties controlled by Monsanto
Support local seed banks
Purchase organic, heirloom or open pollinated from independent seed companies who’s mission are to save seed diversity
Share your pledge with the world with this nifty icon - feel free to “save as” and use!
Also join other homegrown revolutionaries at our sister site FreedomGardens.org

I'm really interested in your comment about 'seed varieties which are controlled by Monsanto'.. can you elaborate? We should know about this.
Thanks. I have used your pledge on my blog. It didnt turn out as good as yours. But it is there for others to see.

Hi Matron
The comment about Monsanto is contained in the quote from the Path to Freedom folks. For more information about Monsanto and Seed Companies check out this link.

If you are on broadband and able to view video clips this collection of clips is a French doco and very enlightening about the world of Monsanto.

"The World According to Monsanto 10 Videos
On March 11 a new documentary was aired on French television (ARTE -- French-German cultural tv channel) by French journalist and film maker Marie-Monique Robin, The World According to Monsanto - A documentary that Americans won't ever see. The gigantic biotech corporation Monsanto is threatening to destroy the agricultural biodiversity which has served mankind for thousands of years."
Your pledge looks fine Angela.
