That works.
On non-organics and seafood you could also mention the deaths from oil and chemical spills and the rubbish island that is choking the fish, drum lines and asian medicines condroitin and the like. This all depletes the quality of the oceans and air, and changes winds and rainfall.
On GM the intent is to produce sturdier, higher yield crops to feed the masses. But long term effects to our health are yet to be determined. In the meantime we have contamination. Canola has been grown in WA for twenty years and birds have contaminated nonGM farms. This went to court in May. See http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/western-australia/court-rules-on-wa-genetically-modified-canola-contamination/story-fnhocxo3-1226934318045 and http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-05-28/gm-farmer-wins-organic-contamination-case/5484648 This is his fund to fight the decision. http://stevemarshbenefitfund.com.au/ You may want to add something about this to the GM section.
Non-organic pesticides see http://www.organicconsumers.org/foodsafety/residues052404.cfm
For bees section you might like to mention permaculture - the leading kind of environmental farming promoted by Tasmanian Bill Mollison and now considered the most sustainable farming method available. See wikipedia and http://permaculturewest.org.au/resources/what-is-permaculture
In questions where plants are sentient you could mention Prince Charles plays music to his plants to improve growth and sunflowers follow the sun etc.
The "like murdering" is a social manipulation encouraging violence such as on tv and guns and war
Good paper but too long and its late. Keep the answers for you or separate to another paper. Too much at once.
