To its credit, EPA has imposed some restrictions on the companies that developed Bt corn and cotton. But these measures are based only on educated guesses-no one knows what will work to avoid resistance. It may take a few years to complete the research needed to figure out resistance management strategies-but it is worth the wait if the end result is to preserve Bt. The high visibility of this issue and continued interest from public will let the Agency and companies know that they are being held accountable for Bt's fate. In writing to the Agency, try to phrase your concerns in your own words.
Federal agencies are more receptive to personalized accounts than form letters.
