Please support the ban on GMOs on Hawaii Island. These commodity crops are not necessary 1 �
agriculture. They only bring with them more pesticides and herbicides. Please see my link to UJSz
website about raining glyphosate. We are over poisoning our lands and will pay in the future. A.1113; tI
rest of the world is looking for GMO free food. We could be a GMO free zone and attract invesment in
NON-GMO crops!

By keeping Hawaii GMO free we put ourselves in a good position to capitalize on the rest of the world's
search for GMO free zones.
