Welcome to the Changemakers GMO Challenge!

Welcome, and thank you for joining the discussion on genetically modified organisms and the various ways that GMOs affect our lives, environment and society. Every Monday and Thursday we will be posting a new set of quotes to get the community thinking about the impact of GMOs, and we hope you will participate in the lively discussions that are already happening on the challenge webpage as well as the GMO group, www.changemakers.com/en-us/GMOGroup.

Have a topic that you are particularly passionate about? Feel free to start your own discussion thread! 

Best regards,

Yuting Lien, Ashoka Changemakers

Hi - I entered this competition a few days ago and even received a confirmed link to my entry - which I followed and saw my entry among the others.  But then it disappeared.  I figured it was just the system "rebooting" - or something benign like that.  But it has yet to reappear.  My frustration is this:  I have spent a lot of time on this issue and on entering this contest.  I have also sent a couple of administrative emails - but to no avail (or response).  I have the utmost respect and admiration for this community, and completely understand that "glitches" do happen.  But can someone PLEASE get back to me on this??  The competition ends in 2 days -one of which is a holiday.  I'm feeling a bit duped.

Deirdre,

Your frustrations are deeply understood, is why we are offering something in place of a busy staff which i know Changemakers.com is composed of.

May we suggest that you enter something or nothing will be seen at all. Your ideas & perspectives are as important as ANY well thought out idea &/or documented entry.

DO NOT BE DISCOURAGED! Please enter again as the [GMO] community supports your efforts; speaking for teamLEOnardo, and others, if i may! At the vary least, i'd like to know what you have to offer, since team work is essential to anything getting done, on planet earth.

Lastly, connections between ideas, always produce more than not collaborating at all! Be well!

Your friend regardless of competing for a conversation with Michael Pollan,

a.

PS: If we win, is there anything you'd like for us to ask on your behalf? We will do our best to speak in your stead. Thanks for your friendship, trust, due diligence and perseverance. a.
