FOE- Friends of Earth
Friends of Earth is a community activist group that was formed in an effort to defend the planet and strives for more awareness towards a more just and healthy world. It seems like one of their more significant media campaigns as of recent was that they were seeking to put an end to the approval of genetically engineered salmon that is used for human consumption. They brought in a man named Eric Hoffman, a bio-tech policy campaigner, who spoke in front of the White House in Washington, D.C. The fact that they were protesting in front of the White House would lead me to believe that it was a successful campaign. Some of the limitations this campaign might have, as well as most if not all other campaigns, is that halting this approval will wind up costing money to some organization, and sadly, whenever money is involved, it tends to blind people from doing what is right.
