shouldn't mean illegal trade!

"The Dead Zone" has an unpleasant ring to it, but we have a
chance to change the tune.
For 20 years, scientists have been documenting this complete
annihilation of all marine life within a chemical-fertilizer
choked area in the Gulf of Mexico the size of New Jersey. The
"Dead Zone" is but one giant casualty of agricultural pollution,

Healthy Farms, Food and Fuels Act of 2006, however, is the first
step in bringing life back to threatened land all over the
country.
