Toxic Planet

The bleak future facing us with Genetech, and ways out of the dilemma, were the subject of the Toxic Planet project in Islington, London. At the grand opening, 3 banners alerted passers by to the issue, and while mad scientists and corporate baddies were driven away, folk on the street were invited in for a GE free cuppa & food and a tour of the toxic planet. The following days combined direct action, gastronomy, art and straight forward information to get people talking about their food and who is controlling it. Talks about various forms of direct action against GE were held, videos and displays shown and GE-free food and drink served. Toxic Planet provided a springboard for people of every kind to understand the issues involved, have a fun time and find out how to take positive direct action against the likes of Monsanto.
