Words of warning, however, have emerged from various quarters, from scientists to environmental groups--notably Friends of the Earth Middle East (FoEME), leading campaigners on the regional water crisis. Activists at Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth began talking about "contaminated" rice, and bureaucrats in the European Union ordered that every shipment of American rice be tested for contamination. Other beneficiaries of the group include the Blue Ocean Society, Save Our Springs Alliance, Friends of the Earth UK, Neighborhood Partners, Healing the Children Foundation, A Seed Japan, Street Teens, Berkeley Food and Housing Project, Habitat for Humanity and Nature Conservancy Indiana, The Hope House, Hands on Memphis, Gateway Greening, Snow City Arts Foundation and Little Kids Rock. |
