Subject: Testimony for Bill 113, County meeting 11 5 2013
Council Members, I am Kimo DeVincent and I support passage of Bill 113 to ban GMOs from Hawaii
Island and ask you to support it also.
My reasons for supporting this bill comes from my "love" of Hawaii and its people. "Love" to me is
when you put what you love "first" before yourself. Therefore, I put Hawaii Island before my personal
gain because I love the land. Therefore, I put Hawaii's people before my personal profit, because I
"Love" Hawaii's people and our culture.
So let's look at the bio-tech industry. What is it that drives them? Is it Love of the land? No....we look
at Kauai's pollution, as well as Oahu and Molokai. Their lands are grossly saturated with poisons. Their
waters are toxic, their reefs are dying. Does that sound like a corporation putting the land before its
personal profits? Certainly, NO love of Hawaii from them.
Now let's look at Hawaii's people. Does the health problems from GMO pesticide use show that the
bio-tech corporations think of the people before themselves? NO there's no "love" for the people
who work, raise their children, or look to the future grandchildren. So it's plain to see, the bio-tech
corporations , do NOT put others first, ahead of their profits. Council members, The line is clear. If
YOU Love" Hawaii and its people, prove it by supporting Bill 113. Thank You.
