They may also be carried to water by eroding soil. Those polluted waters affect to the humans, sea animals, and plants. For example, the humans get a lot of diseases because of the polluted drinking water, sea animals start to die or migrate to other safe places, and plants die due to polluted water. Several activist groups joined by food and farming experts are suing Monsanto for their crimes against humanity. Monsanto responsible for introducing multiple genetically modified plants and numerous toxic chemicals into our environment, so they have to answer to the world for its reign of terror.
