There is this film, White Noise, with Michael Keaton about the dead talking back to us.

Indeed, Mickey Mouse himself, of course, as Steamboat Willie, is a remix of the then, very dominant, very popular Steamboat Bill by Buster Keaton.

Keaton filmed the collapse in the conifer forest around the town of Cottage Grove, Oregon, using 500 extras from the Oregon National Guard.

Large consumers of MB are expected to agree new projects for phasing out about 7,000 tonnes of MB (see Annex 2 for details).

The vast majority of A5 Parties that still consume MB are implementing MLF projects to reduce or totally phase out MB.

The current year, 2005, will see Parties undertake commitments to further controls on CFCs, halons, carbon tetrachloride, methyl chloroform and methyl bromide.

The phase out period depends on the policies of national governments and to a lesser extent on the quantity of MB and types of uses. The amount of MB eliminated per year varies greatly from project to project.

MBTOC analysed the results and found that for all situations and all crops tested, one or more of the alternatives proved comparable to MB for the control of target pests diseases.
