Hi Jorge, Good news for food revolutionaries: Yesterday Monsanto was denied in their request to be guaranteed 2.6 million gallons of water per day in Hawaii. It takes a lot of water to irrigate GMO crops, and Monsanto's push to take a big chunk of Hawaii's water to grow their genetically modified seeds was rejected.

Now a great resource is being offered for Food Revolution Network members! You can watch and share a free streaming of the short version of Genetic Roulette—The Gamble of Our Lives, with a special message from Institute for Responsible Technology founder Jeffrey Smith, now through January 2nd, 2013. This provocative film has been viewed by more than 2 million people, and it has audiences changing their diets before the credits roll. It makes a great resource to share with your family over the holidays. Check it out here. Institute for Responsible Technology (IRT) has produced many other powerful resources, too. They've put together a footnoted compilation of Health Risks of GMOs, as well as an overview of Dangers to the Environment, and their Buy Non-GMO toolkit. You can also join IRT's Tipping Point Network of organized advocates who are making a difference. IRT Makes a Great End-of-Year Charity If you're looking for a good cause to support at the end of the year, you might want to consider IRT. You can support IRT's critical education efforts which not only help people protect themselves, but are also building huge momentum towards the tipping point of consumer rejection of GMOs. Your support can enable translations of Jeffrey Smith's life-changing documentary, Genetic Roulette—The Gamble of Our Lives, to reach people all over the world; support efforts in 30 states to introduce bills or ballot initiatives for labeling; enable the development of new tools for outreach; and help bring IRT's message to healthcare practitioners, patients, parents, schools, and religious groups.
