SUPPORT A G.E. FREE NEW ZEALAND
Vigil in Rotorua
1 September (Saturday)12pm - 2 September 4pm (Sunday)
Rotorua Energy Events Centre, Queens Drive, Government Gardens, Rotorua, New Zealand
Organised by The Awareness Party
Why Rotorua? That's where a global biotech conference is taking place, and their keynote speaker is the VP of Biotechnology from Monsanto. http://www.abic2012.com/
We need a massive show of support for a clean green GE free New Zealand, with no field trials. Show Monsanto, DuPont, Dow and the others that their business is not welcome here.
Come in car loads! Be there for one day or both.
Bring musical instruments, drums, fancy dress - anything to make these awareness building days lots of fun. If possible let us know if you are coming.
Community Planting Day

On the University campus, Village Green, by Oranga Lake

Wayne Bennett, local conservationist, will be talking about plants for places during the event. There will also be a BBQ for those taking part in the planting.
There will be spades, but bring more if you can. If it is pouring down, the event will be postponed.
