This Friday (26th August 2005), Maizy the milk float, a herd of dairy cows and a Greenpeace milkman will deliver the results of the GM milk ballot launched last March to Supermarket managers across Cardiff. The ballot which asked the simple question "Do you want to drink GM milk?" shows an overwhelming rejection by the people of Cardiff for GM milk with a massive 97% saying no.
Greenpeace teamed up with professional jokesters the Ministry of Fun to promote the Campaign for Real Milk. The aim of the campaign is to rid Wales of GM milk. For one day only a fake pub, The Cow Major, will be opening its doors on Queen Street serving up pints of GM free milk and alerting the people of Wales to the fact that most milk sold in Wales comes from cows fed on GM feed.
Greenpeace are holding a Cardiff wide day of action against supermarkets still selling genetically modified (GM) milk. Shoppers the length and breadth of Cardiff will be offered the chance to exchange their GM milk for an organic alternative free of charge to show their rejection of GM goods.
A herd of costume cows and milkmen and women hit the streets of Cardiff to protest about supermarkets selling genetically modified (GM) milk in Wales. The campaigning cows will be touring Cardiff in an open top bus and visiting supermarkets that continue to use GM animal feed for their dairy herds. The worst offenders will be awarded the "Greenpeace Cowpat Award for Supporting GM milk".
