Aloha,

For those interested in following/supporting Hawai'i anti-GE/GMO
activities (in which papaya figures prominently at the moment), there's a
list for GE Free Hawai'i activities at gefreehi@yahoogroups.com.  If you
can't just join via whatever the Yahoo! interface is let me know and I can
pass your e-mail on to someone who can add you.

This article and other info related to Hawai'i growers active in these
issues in Thailand have appeared on that list recently.
