Seers of bill 79,
Aloha, I am an arborist, a farmer and local resident of Hilo, Hawaii. I have
lived here for 18 years. I feel that bill 79 should be passed and if passed it
will have a great effect now and in the future for all residents of the big
island. We need to have factual scientific evidence from independent
researchers as to all the effects of GMO crop experimentation before we
plant more GMO crops on our island. The GMO experimentation is
affecting the non-GMO crops substantially. The cross pollination between
non-GMO and GMO crops compromises the original seed bearing fruit.
The logical conclusion is we will cancel out nature's process of crop
production. We don't even know how the GMO crops may affect animals
and humans. We should not take risks with human life and nature's
ecology.
Sincerely,
George M. Lichtl
