Keep our fields GM-free

SCARECROWS took to the streets around the country on 30 October 2004 to help keep our fields GM-free.
   Members of Nottingham Friends of the Earth set up our own life-size scarecrow in a flowerbed outside the Council House.
   We are asking people to challenge their MPs to support tough new laws preventing GM contamination.

Nottingham Friends of the Earth anti-GM campaigner, Jill Gross, said: “Sixty percent of people in this area want tough new laws to protect their food and farming from GM contamination but the Government is planning to allow widespread GM pollution of our food crops. This is totally unacceptable.
   "We are challenging Nottingham's MPs to show us which side of the fence they are on and we hope that they will do everything they can to prevent the Government threatening our right to choose GM-free food.”
