Cropwatch Petition site up and working!

[Guest guest]

You can now add your signature to the Cropwatch petition calling for

opposition to the IFRA 40th Amendment. A note: the link below did not

work for me, but it is working for others. I got around it by just

going to the main page by typing ipetitions.com in my browser, doing

a search for " ifra " and voting there. After you vote, the site will

try to get you to send money to paypal. I did send some, but it is

not necessary. To view the signatories so far, just click on the

" signatures " button in the menu.

 

Here's Tony's post:

 

" Hi all,

 

At last (!) we have a petition up - protesting against the 40th IFRA

amendment and its implications for all natural aromatics/essential

oil users at http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/ifra40/

 

This isn't really just about Cropwatch, its about taking a stand

against one of the prime movers (IFRA) in a regulatory process, which

(intentionally or otherwise), is slowly phasing out the use of

natural materials in favour of synthetics in cosmetics/fragrances. We

can see a similar process going on - the phasing out of natural

aromatic materials - in many other areas - biocides, over-the-counter

medicines, household products etc. etc.

 

Please, please, please .... help us by signing this petition.

 

A good showing here in particular can help us enormously by proving

that David (us) can triumph over Goliath (the Corporates). A bad

showing means that we can be dismissed by the authorities as insignificant.

 

Please help us by spreading the word on this petition to as many

groups and individuals as possible.

 

Cheers,
