Guest guest Posted March 12, 2002 Report Share Posted March 12, 2002 March 11th-17th: National Supermarket Campaign Launch Week Many of you have sent us e-mail asking how you can get involved in the Greenpeace campaign to kick genetically engineered foods off the supermarket shelves. Below is a list of things you and your friends can do this week to join in this national effort. - Leaflet - Download leaflets and petitions to pass out at a supermarket in your area. (You'll need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader for the .pdf files) Talking with shoppers about genetically engineered food and encouraging them to sign a petition or talk to their store manager is a great way to help start the campaign. Send us your completed petitions (our address is at the bottom of the petition). Get Safeway or Shaw's/Star Market petitions: http://www.truefoodnow.org/take_action/supermarket2002.html#petition Get Safeway or Shaw's factsheets: http://www.truefoodnow.org/take_action/supermarket2002.html#factsheets - Petition - If you can't get in front of a supermarket this week to pass out information and gather petition signatures, then pass around the petition to friends and family. Get Safeway or Shaw's/Star Market petitions: http://www.truefoodnow.org/take_action/supermarket2002.html#petition - Talk with your store manager - It's important for local store managers to hear from their customers about GE foods. Call or go by your local supermarket and ask to speak to the manager. Tell managers at your local store why you are concerned about GE food and ask them to remove GE ingredients from their products. Our activist kit has tips on meeting with your manager.

The more people who demand safe, sustainably grown food and an end to GE food, the faster the U.S. will end this genetic experiment with our food supply. Pass this e-mail on to friends and encourage them to join this free, national network of concerned consumers. Join the True Food Network today: http://www.truefoodnow.org/join/ About the 2002 Supermarket Campaign: For the supermarket campaign Greenpeace and the members of the GE-Free Markets Coalition will be targeting Safeway (which also owns Vons, Domincks, Carr's, Randalls and Genuardi's), Shaw's/Star Markets in New England, A & P (Food Emporium), Publix and Food Lion. All of these chains have refused to remove GE ingredients from their products. Food Lion, A & P and Shaw's/Star Market are owned by European companies that have already stopped using GE foods in their products sold in Europe, but not in stores in the U.S. Tell these stores to stop their use of genetically engineered food.
