"Some cynics write off citizen action including petitions and
sign-carrying protestors. They don’t believe such small efforts can make
any big difference. But the more than 600,000 people of Dutch city
Rotterdam disagree. Their efforts, which began with a petition, have led to a “green initiative” in their city including the banning of Roundup, Monsanto’s flagship product.
The petition
campaign was called “Non-toxic Sidewalks for Our Children.” With
support from that country’s Green Party, concerned citizens were able to
make a significant change for their city and their future."
