March Climate Change Teach-in

• Who is the presenter? The 'Our Green Challenge' group (Veronica Jacobi) has been asked.
• Ideas on what should be presented: define 'climate disruption'; compare and contrast terminology: global warming, climate change, climate disruption; scientific consensus; climate skepticism; how much time do we have to act?; actions to take individually and in groups; local and national groups fighting climate change; how Trump and a Republican Congress will affect progress.
• Media and publicity plan

------------------------------------------------------------------------
It would take 5% of US consumers asking for GMO-free to be the tipping point.

Monsanto's stock is declining. A clear sign of this occurred when the president of Whole Foods confessed that when a product becomes verified as Non-GMO or GMO-free, sales leap by 15-30 percent. Of all the categories of health and wellness claims, such as “gluten-free,” etc, “GMO-free” products have the most rapid growth in sales.

We can win this! Together we can stop GMOs.
