EcoNation by 2020

One of the first major steps toward becoming an organic country is to declare ourselves GE free. The government is due to hear recommendations from the Royal Commission on GM on 27th July. This means now is a good time to make sure the government knows how you feel. One efficient way to do this is by contributing to the GE Free NZ postcard campaign. This series of 5 postcards to be sent to 5 key MPs says to:

+ ban all field trials and commercial releases of
genetically engineered organisms into the environment
+ keep GE-foods out of the country
+ restrict genetic engineering to contained laboratories.

You can print the cards for free at

Otherwise sets of 5 can be ordered by writing to NZ GE-Free Postcards, PO Box 1, Paekakariki. The cards are ‘free-of-charge’ but a donation of about $5 would help with printing and postage.
