Be aware and beware .......... bio-dynamic is vital to the planet -

Jane

This comes from NZ but it affects us all. More attacks on natural products, this time on Biodynamics. Check the web site for details.

As Rana says below...important if you believe freedom of choice is a right.

Not sure if any of you have signed this already...but if not, please consider as it is very important. Thanks

Dear friends

this is a group email because it is SO important .... to me and I believe to everyone around the world. Please do read on and if you can help in the next very few days...or minutes... I would be most grateful indeed. If you have received this some months ago, can you still manage to do something extra, even small, this time round, perhaps by emailing or talking to someone new?

The European Parliament and bureaucracy has decided that things like Weleda and Wala medicines and Biodynamic babyfoods and such like are too small a market for special laws of protection to be made for them, and instead are demanding they fit into laws to protect the population from poor quality products made from totally different synthetic products. For example a perfectly good Biodynamic babyfood company has been put out of business by being forced to put synthetic vitamins into its packs, when the food already had more natural vitamins than the EU standards. Hence the people who want good quality babyfood stopped buying it.

This is a direct and immediate threat to freedom of choice and alternative products and ideas throughout Europe and after that the rest of the world. This will affect all Biodynamic and organic agriculture, perfectly good scientific alternative anthroposophic medicines, Waldorf/Steiner education and curative homes plus other initiatives coming specially from the ideas of Rudolf Steiner. 80 years of most fruitful work for humanity is being seriously threatened at this very moment and perhaps even more importantly the capacity of people to have choices of top quality products and education.

If 1 million signatures can be gathered showing support for these products and methods (and the free choice associated with them!) then the EU Parliament will pass a law to protect their special character. I believe this is a MOMENTOUS issue we MUST get through or else many other things will go as well in due course. In the last six months 340,000 signatures have been collected from 100 countries but we need another 660,000 urgently. I am one of 60,000 people who have been asked to gather at least 11 signatures quickly. I want to gather, with your help, at least another 100 signatures. Can you please help me in this? This week, not next week, as it is so easy to forget. I know myself how easy that is. 1.. By signing it yourself online if you have not already. 2.. By getting another 10 to do so very soon. Just forward my email from yourself to your friends and family.... 3.. Ask these folk to find a few signatories themselves. Recently 1 million folk signed a petition for the Dalai Lama and Tibet in just two weeks so there are many folk out there who are concerned about freedom issues. Please below, and fill out your details, send and then remember to confirm your signing of the petition by clicking the confirmation in the email that is sent to you. Please click here now: http://www.eliant.nl/?action=behaviour & actionid=215 & lang=uk Or you can print out the paper petition and get people to physically sign it and then collect these papers and fax them to the address below. (great if you are working in a shop for instance). thank you in advance. Sometimes something is vitally important to do. If you can help now I would be most sincerely grateful. regards Roy Taruna Essential Education Roy Boonen Manager Taruna 33 Te Mata Peak Rd PO Box 8103 Havelock North New Zealand roy.b www.taruna.ac.nz tel: fax: 0064 6 8777 174 0064 6 8777 014 Want to always have my latest info?
