Dear Council,
Thank you for taking the time to hear our voices on such an important matter. I am a
resident of Papa'aloa and I grow as much food for my family and others as possible. The
current unregulated state of GMO crops limits my freedom and ability to grow my food. The
pollen from GMO plants can travel long distances and mix with other plants. Most of these
crops have terminator genes which halt the plants' seeds reproductive abilities. They also
may have effects we don't know of yet given their novelty and lack of scientific
trialling. I am not anti-GMO from a scientific standpoint but I do believe that until more
study can be done and proper regulation put in place that we as Hawaii' s food producers
would be better off without them. Lets follow the lead of our elder kin in Europe and ban
GMO' s on this sacred aina.
Mahalo,
Warren Shelley-Rose
