Scotts Miracle-Gro – the bird-killing company?

[ellenrr]

"The Scotts Miracle-Gro company pleads guilty to knowingly selling poisoned birdseed, and lawn and garden care products containing undocumented pesticides, to an unsuspecting public.
"I recently heard about the most astonishing corporate crime: the American company, Scotts Miracle-Gro, violated US federal environmental laws by manufacturing and selling poisoned birdseed for more than two years. The Scotts Miracle-Gro company entered guilty pleas to all charges in U.S. District Court and these guilty pleas were accepted by Judge James Graham on Tuesday, 13 March 2012. Penalties have not yet been determined."
And, Scotts is Monsanto's exclusive agent for the marketing and distribution of consumer Roundup®

Boycott stores that sell Miracle-Gro!

1. Fines won't hurt

But prison time would.

2. You mean every store which sells Miracle Grow..

LOL, FFS..some of us like to garden...and only Miracle Grow? Seems this has nothing to do with Miracle Grow, it has to do with the company Scott's which sells many, many other products for lawn/garden care Scott's Turf Builder, etc. How about just not buying Scott's products?

3. I agree. Boycott Scott's products

I'd be sunk without Lowes, Home Depot and Ace Hardware.
