Dear friends,
The European Commission has just approved growing genetically modified
crops in the European Union for the first time in 12 years!
Caving to the GM lobby, the commission has ignored 60% of Europeans
who feel we have to get the facts first before growing foods that
could pose a threat to our health and environment.
A new initiative allows 1 million EU citizens to make official legal
requests of the European Commission. Let's build a million voices for
a ban on GM foods until the research is done; they will be delivered
to the President Barroso of the European Commission. Sign the petition
and forward this email to friends and family:
http://www.avaaz.org/en/eu_health_and_biodiversity/98.php?CLICK_TF_TRACKConsumers, public health, environmental and farmers groups have long
rallied against a few international GM companies having such
significant influence over European agriculture. Concerns about
growing GM crops include: contamination of organic crops and the
environment; their impact on climate due to the excessive need for
pesticides; the destruction of biodiversity and local agriculture; and
the effects of GM food on public health.
EU member states have voiced strong opposition to last week's decision
to authorise BASF's potato and Monsanto's maize, including Italy and
Austria, which want to ban GM cultivation, and France, which said it
would ask for further scientific research.
There is still no consensus on the long-term effects of GM crops. And
it is the GM industry, pursuing profits not public well being, that is
funding the science and driving the regulatory environment. That is
why European citizens are calling for more independent research,
testing and precaution before crops are unleashed onto our land.
Now, the "European Citizens' Initiative" gives 1 million EU citizens
the opportunity to submit policy proposals to the European Commission
and offers us a unique chance to drown out lobbyists' influence.
Let's raise 1 million voices to put a moratorium on the introduction
of GM crops into Europe and set up an independent, ethical and
scientific body to research and determine the strong regulation of GM
crops. Sign the petition now and then forward it widely:

Alice, Benjamin, Ricken, Luis, Graziela and the entire Avaaz team.
