Dear All
I found this mail rather cheering – firstly, I well remember the courageous stand Iceland retailer took against GM all those years ago!
And if London really does ban glyphosate use in public places that will be another thing to celebrate.
But the mosquito story is a shocker because genetically modified creatures have been freed in an uncontrolled environment, and who really knows what will happen?

Best wishes
Cherry
