Hello
from GM Freeze
The new issue of our regular
newsletter
Thin Ice is out with
details of the two GM field trials recently approved for
planting in the UK and new signs of what
Brexit could mean for GM in food and
farming. There's also an article about industry moves to
undermine the European Union (EU)'s strong regulation of
genome editing, including a summary of new studies
showing just how risky this and other new GM techniques
are proving to be. The June 2019 issue is
available to read on our website so please forward this email or
pass on a link to friends and family
who may be interested.
If
you contribute financially as a GM Freeze supporter, or
are part of a member organisation, you should have
received your printed copy of
Thin Ice in the
post by now. If you are expecting a copy and it hasn't
shown up, please
get in touch so we can see what's gone
wrong.
If
you only receive emails from us but would like to
receive a high quality printed newsletter - and know
that you are helping the campaign for a responsible,
fair and sustainable food system - please sign up as a supporter for as little
as £1 a month
Keep
sharing our
petitionEU
regulations currently mean that any GM ingredients in
our food have to be listed on the packaging. GM Freeze's
Don't Hide What's Inside
petition calls on key UK ministers and officials to
protect our right to make an informed choice by
retaining and enforcing the requirement to label food
containing GM ingredients throughout the UK, whatever
happens about Brexit.
Please
sign the petition (if you have not
already done so) and share with others. Some of the best
ways to do this are to:
- Forward this email to friends and family, or send
your own explaining why this is important. Remember to
include a link to www.donthide.gmfreeze.org
- Share the same link on social media. We will be
running some adverts on Facebook soon so if you see those,
please share them to help spread the word.
- Get in touch if you are organising
or attending any public events over the summer where
you could ask people to sign paper copies of the
petition. We can send these to you in the post.
This message has been sent to the
GM Freeze Mailing List. If you are
reading a copy that has been forwarded by a friend,
please
sign up here to make sure you get our
news and action requests as soon as they go out.
Best
wishes
