Need some ideas to help stay away from genetically engineered foods? Check out some ideas we have come up with for you to take action in your own neighborhood!

Bring the Issue to Town Meeting or Town Council:
Work to pass a moratorium on the planting or releasing of genetically engineered crops in your community. This allows for towns to prove their autonomy and the power of local governance.

Collect GE Free Landowner/Farmer Pledges:
With GE grass and trees on the horizon, everyone is a target for the biotech industry. Reach out to your fellow community members and collect GE Free Landowner/Farmer Pledges to create de facto moratorium zones.

Talk to Farmers in Your Town:
Create a friendly dialogue with farmers in your area about GMO’s. Ask them not to grow GMO crops. If all farmers agree you have a de-facto Moratorium/GE Free Zone!

Write and Speak to Your Local Officials:
Share with them your concern for your community and farmers and the risks of GMOs.

Create a GE Free School Program in your area:
This program concentrates on educating children and the general school population. Expand work with local groups; promote sustainable agriculture education and action in schools, as well as promoting GE Free lunch programs.

Launch a GE Free Restaurants Campaign in Your Area:
Restaurants that pledge not to use genetically engineered ingredients in their foods will receive a certificate.
