Facing Hawaii’s Future:
Harvesting Essential Information About GMOs
A Project of Hawaii SEED
What are GMOs? Why is there such resistance worldwide to their presence in food and farming today? Hawai’i is “ground zero” for the open field testing of this new radical agricultural technology, which will affect everyone who eats as well as those who wish to protect and preserve the life of the land. Should “life” be patented and owned by corporations? Is this agricultural path the right one for Hawaii’s future?
Join in the debate. In the hour it takes to read this
informative and thought-provoking booklet, you will gain a broad knowledge
that took us years to uncover. The time has come to understand these issues
and to help shape Hawaii’s future
for the generations who are to come.
“I have the feeling that science has transgressed a barrier that should
have remained inviolate . . . you cannot recall a new form of life . . . It
will survive you and your children and your children’s children.
An irreversible attack on the biosphere is something so unheard of, so unthinkable
to previous generations, that I could only wish that mine had not been guilty
of it.”
– Erwin Chargaff, Professor Emeritus of Biochemistry, Columbia University,
and discoverer of “Chargaff’s Rules,” which laid the scientific
foundation for the discovery of the DNA double helix.
“The future is present in our every idea and action. Look around at
the rise in disease, depression, drug use, obesity, apathy, and fear. Life
teaches us that cause and effect is a simultaneous event. To turn this around
we need the grace found within our own conscious awareness, our own practice
of aloha ‘aina. Regain our senses, beloved Hawai‘i! Stand firm
against GMOs and the philosophies of disinterested care of our lands and health.
Mau ke aloha no Hawai‘i."
– Dr. Manulani Aluli Meyer, Hawaiian author and professor in the education
department at the University of Hawai‘i at Hilo.
