In 2015, so...You are my hero! Keep up the good work<br />In 2015, some 53,000 lbs of glyphosate(Roundup) were applied to Napa vineyards along with 1020 lbs. Of Mancozeb. God only knows what this stuff is doing to our soils, water and bodies; Monsanto admitted they don't.Michael Donohuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06407102141702443463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649594762950408486.post-58531524089810312302018-09-10T09:30:03.897-07:002018-09-10T09:30:03.897-07:00Thank you so much for these articles.

I'm amazed that CCSW wouldn't require the inspectors/certifiers to look at all publicly-available data and compare it to what was submitted in the application. I suspect they will now, though, so that's to your credit.<br /><br />I agree that sustainability certification could be a good thing, not least because it demonstrates operations that go beyond environmental, like worker and community relations. With economics as the third leg of the stool, though, there will always be some question about whether wineries are really doing all they can.<br />Tomhttp://firstvine.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7649594762950408486.post-81121772507971116082018-09-08T09:29:18.140-07:002018-09-08T09:29:18.140-07:00It appears that the blog site url that was previou...It appears that the blog site url that was previously published is no longer online.
