Dear friends,
We in N.Z. are being threatened with the release of
G.M.O.'s into our environment. In the U.S.A. you have been living with
situation for a while
Have any members of this list had G.M. pollen affect
plants on your properties?
Have you had any friends or neighbours affected in
this way?
Is it a concern for anyone or has some one found a
way to protect from contamination or clean it out afterwards?
