Please sign the petition against IFRA's 40th Amendment

[Guest guest]

Below is the latest info on the petition ...

 

I must say, I'm quite surprised at the lack of discussion on this topic here. I

know its been a super busy work week for many and that makes it difficult to get

involved in extracurricular reading. I hope everyone gets a chance this weekend

to check this out further as it is quite an important issue that could greatly

affect all of us here in one way or another.

Hi all,

 

At last (!) we have a petition up - just this minute - 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. I know I've been

asking you to do several things lately - but 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,

I would be interested if I understood what was going on (I hope I'm not the only

one). I don't have time to delve into this deeply and a brief explanation and

no acronyms would help a great deal.

Hi Chis an all

I think the lack of discussion could be due to problems which

are still on going according to the Team Blog :

 

" ALERT!!!

" We are currently experiencing a Groups email backlog. Messages posted

on January 25 and 26 may be delayed or delivered out of order. We

apologize for the inconvenience. Please check the

http://blog.360./y_groups_team?p=561 for updates. "

UPDATE January 29 10:00 a.m. Pacific time: Groups messages sent now

should be delivered in a timely way. Older messages may be

bottlenecked, but will eventually be delivered. This means users may

see older messages delivered out of order.

We continue to monitor the situation on the back end and appreciate

your reports. We will update you when we have further information to

share. "

 

Hopefully things will be back to normal in a day or so and we can

re-post the Cropwatch petition - Well, I may as well do it now as

current mail is getting through - allegedly

I'd like to add that there's a poll going on at

http://perfumerflavorist.com and you can vote for Cropwatch there.

It's an informal poll from the industry, and we need to have good

numbers there, since many big firms will be encouraging their

employees to vote against Cropwatch, I'm sure.

 

The poll is at the bottom left corner of the homepage.
