Mark of protest
On July 27, a group of Greenpeace activists entered a field of genetically engineered maize in southern France and carved a giant "crop circle' with an "X' in the field. The action, taken to mark the field as a contamination zone, was in response to a ruling by a French court. The court has ordered Greenpeace France to remove from its website maps the location of commercial fields of genetically engineered maize in France. As we are forbidden to publish the maps on our webpage, we have gone into the fields and marked it for real, said the ngo in a statement.
