Midge, and others who missed this due to short notice - I'm very
sorry - this was my fault, as Lois Kain had passed along the word of
it days earlier.<br>
<br>
In exchange, here's some news from the event. The march drew a
good crowd - maybe 30+ of us at peak. <br>
<br>
That day, there was an Organic Consumers Association / Food and
Water Watch booth at the Market - perhaps they'll be back. Among
other things they are gathering petition signatures to call on the
IL legislature to <b>label</b> GMO foods, as I think Vermont
recently became the first state to do. <br>
<br>
One of the marchers was a woman, Tove, in a wonderful bee costume.
She hopes at some point to organize a group of pro-bee demonstrators
to call on Lowe's, urging them to promise that the bedding plants
they sell won't have been treated with systemic bee-toxic
neonicotinoid pesticides, as apparently many commercial plants
are. This is some sort of nationwide movement. Home Depot has
already agreed to do this, but Lowe's hasn't so far. Will let
you-all know when such a thing is planned.<br>
