I think the title of this thread says it all. How can rogue GMO
cultivation on private or public property even need to be be
questioned as ethical or not? It's not ethical. I know I sound harsh
but think about the question being asked in the first place. However,
I think the question is not new and is being researched in academic
and commercial labs. The problem this thread seeks to address is the
pace of that research. That is understandable. The pace from research
to usable product is sluggish.

So, maybe a different approach needs to be taken. How about localized
cleanup? For example, plants that purify the air and the water inside
your home. How do they compare with other methods such as air filters?
Air and water filters have to be disposed of, so are plants more
better for disposable? I don't know much about this topic, but these
are some things that came to mind.
