    Cleaning the Environment with GMOs

    Published on May 26, 2016
    Can plants and bacteria be modified to remove contamination from the environment? Bill Nye The Science Guy thinks so! He says that bacteria could possibly metabolize the oil in an oil spill, and make the other byproducts easier to collect. Comedian Chuck Nice realizes how much money can be made with these genetically modified organisms and wants in on the profits. Companies like Monsanto (or, as Bill says, 'Monsatan') spend over $2 Million per day on GMO research.

    This "Behind the Scenes" video was shot during the recording of our episode, " Cosmic Queries: GMOs with Bill Nye (Part 2)." If you'd like to listen to the full podcast, click here: https://www.startalkradio.net/show/cos...

    Paul Stamets, used mushrooms to clean a portion of his property. Here is a link to wikepedia and more sources on his work and accomplishments:

    He is well known and has been rewarded many honors

    uh, no need:
    we already know about mycelium/mushrooms that can remediate radioactive areas -
    paul stamet's experiments from 15 years ago. best, jude

    Yes, mushroom mycelium is awesome. From what I understand, mycelium can extend for many miles in the soil. The mycelium, interconnecting itself with the roots systems of trees and plants, can help feed vegetation some of the water and nutrients that it needs. This is fascinating and should be researched and implemented extensively long before any GMOs are used.

    Re: Cleaning the Environment with GMOs

    it is being researched
    i met Paul Stametz's wife in Copperfields a few wks back
    she used to reside here full time and worked at Rosemary's Garden, she said.
    she lives parttime in Washington and is involved with Paul's projects
    and mentioned continued research to be ongoing,
