    >Shell and Monsanto are developing a new tree for the future, known as the
    >"GM Tree." This tree will not provide food for bugs, birds, or mammals.
    >This tree will not have flowers, produce pollen, or yield any fruits
    >whatsoever, it won't even reproduce itself. They claim the tree will be the
    >perfect timber producer. Their vision is huge plantations of sterile,
    >fast-growing, bug-proof trees. They claim this will relieve, the pressure
    >on natural forests to produce the worlds demand for lumber.
    >
    >However, current lumber producing plantations do not even come close to
    >relieving the pressure. Ecologists and environmentalists are concerned that
    >GM Tress will only increase the demand to replace vast acres of natural
    >forest with lifeless trees.
    >
    >Field testing of these trees has already begun in the United States and
    >Europe. What would spring be like in a future with out biologically diverse
    >forests? No birds chirping, no cicadas buzzing, and no squirrels and
    >chipmunks calling, just silence.
