Monsanto is contributing some money to help save Monarchs!!!! Big deal! After doing so much damage and then part of it is going to be set aside to wait for matching funds from federal agencies over the next three years. Better than nothing, but pretty sorry, IMO! Just PR.

This is a complete BS !
The only reason I can see here is that they started to feel some pressure and decided to do something about it.
And the good thing would be not their reaction but action which caused it (if I'm correct in thinking that pressure starts to build up against Monsanto).

"Monsanto is committed to preserving and protecting the biodiversity of our planet," Monsanto President and Chief Operating Officer Brett Begemann said. "While weed management has been a factor in the decline of milkweed habitat, the agricultural sector can absolutely be part of the solution in restoring it."

The statements that come from these corporate heads are oftentimes nauseating, such as Sony's chameleon stance regarding the comedy about North Korea's Pres.
