SPEAKER: Janet Grogan
Want to learn a bit more about GM?
Janet has been part of the GM Campaign in WA for over 7 years. From the 'Say No to GMO' campaign has grown a state -wide network renamed the GM Free Consumers Network. They closely work with communities, shires, consumers and growers to share their common goal of maintaining the GM Free status of Western Australia, to ensure that a GM Free choice is protected, and demand strict liability to protect all non GM growers.

There’s lots happening – so let’s map our sustainability network
At the close of the GM session and continuing over drinks the Sustainable WA team will facilitate an interactive exercise to start mapping the sustainability network in WA. Facilitator, Rod Griffith, will guide you through an activity to collectively uncover and begin to link the range of organisations, groups and individuals already working on Sustainability in WA.

This is a preparatory activity for the “Big Splash”– WA’s largest and most inspiring conversation for sustainability - to be held on Sunday 23 May.

Hope to see you there!
