Prevent Cancer Now
Submitted by mariuss on Tue, 05/23/2006 - 11:59. An initiative by Guy Dauncey, the publisher of the excellent EcoNews newsletter and the person who started the BC Sustainable Energy Association. Please support him.
Dear Friends and EcoNews Readers,
Among my various activities, I am involved in launching a new national non-profit society, called Prevent Cancer Now.
We are building a Canada-wide movement that will do whatever it takes to eliminate the preventable causes of cancer.
This has gone on long enough. We need to get the toxins and pollutants out of our lives and out of nature, once and for all. Sweden has set a goal to eliminate all hazardous chemicals by 2020. We can and must do the same here in Canada. We are also organizing a major national conference for cancer prevention in May 2007. Our website is www.preventcancernow.ca
Specialty Review
Submitted by mariuss on Sun, 08/28/2005 - 20:35. To all small growers in BC
Presently the BC Ag. is conducting a "Specialty Review" for small growers not growing under the "quota" system. This has come about because of many years of labour and insistence from so many good folk involved in Organic growing in BC. The review was also timely because of the so-called issues of Food Safety and Biosecurity surrounding the handling and production of food in BC and across Canada.
