Take Action Guide for Non-GMO Month 2011
10 Ways to Take Action in 2011
October 2011 is the second annual Non-GMO Month and we are happy to announce that the campaign just keeps growing! This month is dedicated to promoting awareness over the concerns of Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) in our food systems and environment. This year several organizations have teamed up to support the labeling of GM (Genetically Modified) foods. This effort will make it easier for all of us to make educated food choices for ourselves and our families.
| Last year WholeSoy put together an Action Guide with ideas on how you could get involved in non-GMO issues. The Guide was so popular that we decided to put together another set of steps that you can take to become part of this fast-growing movement.
For a quick introduction to GMOs, read our Non-GMO overview page and learn about our company pledge to non-GMOs. Here are our top 10 ways for you to participate... |
| 1. Stay up to date about why non-GMO is important
|
| 2. Learn to talk about the issues
|
| 3. Volunteer or make a donation
|
| 4. Tell your local retailer how you feel about GM foods
|
| 5. Watch, learn and share
|
| 6. Participate in the Right2Know March
|
| 7. Become an activist
|
| 8. Voice your concern at your local college or university
|
| 9. Write to your elected officials
|
| 10. Share your own idea
|
We encourage you to tell everyone you know about Non-GMO Month and help spread the word. The more people who know about the importance of non-GMO, the faster we will help grow the movement and build a more sustainable, healthy food system.
