'''Collective-Evolution''' is a [[woo]]-mongering [[clickbait]] website. They label themselves as an alternative news source that seeks to expand their way of "thinking" to create "big change" on the planet.<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20120409045427/http://www.collective-evolution.com/about-us/</ref> According to the biography of a contributor to CE, Joe Martino. Martino has said, "I created CE 5 years ago and have been heavily at it since. I love inspiring others to find joy and make changes in their lives. Hands down the only other thing I am this passionate about is baseball."<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20140720025741/http://www.collective-evolution.com/2014/07/16/10-problems-genetically-modified-foods-are-already-causing/ 10 Problems Genetically Modified Foods Are Already Causing] by Joe Martino (July 16, 2014) ''Collective Evolution'' (archived from July 20, 2014).</ref>
