即刻行動起來，保護雲南森林2005年 3月 27日列印 發送 六省學子超市拒購金光集團APP紙品
放大圖片 北京 — 作為普通消費者的大學生環保志願者，為保護雲南森林，自發拒絕購買金光集團APP紙產品，直到金光集團APP能夠對雲南毀林事件承認錯誤，承擔責任；承諾保護中國的天然林；科學合理調整其在雲南的項目規劃。
2005年3月27日, 一場「拒購金光集團APP紙品，攜手保護雲南森林」超市行動在北京、蘭州、南寧、合肥、成都和哈爾濱六省城市悄然展開。身穿貼有「拒絕APP」圖案T恤衫的大學生環保志願者們紛紛走進超市，在APP紙品「清風」、「唯潔雅」、「真真」等品牌的貨架前表示抗議，倡議更多的消費者以實際行動抵制APP紙品。
去年底，由綠色和平揭露的金光集團APP雲南毀林事件引發了社會輿論和公民社會的廣泛關注和討論。「雲南桉樹事件」被列為國務院發展研究中心的《2004年，環保的十個高頻詞》之一。
參加這次行動的大學生表示「作為環保志願者，作為普通消費者，我們有責任拒購以破壞環境為代價生產出來的紙產品」。大學生們呼籲APP「對雲南毀林事件承認錯誤、承擔責任；承諾保護中國的天然林」。
作為消費者，你也可以參與：

Free Thailand's papaya activists!27 April 2005Print Send Bangkok, Thailand — Why are two activists facing 5 years of prison for exposing an environmental crime?
Meet Pat and Jay. Do they look like criminals who should be locked away for five years?
Jay has a Phd in Ecology from the University of Gorgia. Pat is a journalist and yoga instructor.
Their story is about papaya.
Papaya is grown in almost every backyard and is a staple food in some parts of Southeast Asia. It is a vital part of the Thai kitchen and features in famous Thai dishes such as Som Tam, a spicy papaya salad. Large numbers of people in Thailand grow the fruit, and were worried when the Thai government began to experiment with genetically engineered (GE) strains.
Hawaiian papaya disaster
Their worry was well founded. Commercial plantings of GE papaya in Hawaii had been disastrous for organic papaya growers. The selling price of GE papaya fell to 30-40 percent below production costs, and the price that farmers got for their GE papaya in 2003 was 600 percent lower than the price for organic papaya. Japan screens to ensure no GE papaya enters the market, and it is illegal in many countries.
The government approved experimental plantings at a number of research stations regardless.
Greenpeace discovers contamination
On 24 June 2004, we received test results showing that the fruit of a papaya tree on a local farmer's land had been genetically engineered.Take Action
Send a message to the Thai government: Free Pat and Jay. Find the real criminals.
The GE papaya tree was 12 months old and had been grown from papaya seeds purchased from the government research station at Khon Kaen in June 2003. Sale of GE seeds is illegal in Thailand.
In July of 2004, Pat and Jay took this story public when they acted as spokespersons for Greenpeace activists who sealed off GE papaya in experimental fields at the Khon Kaen research station -- the source of GE papaya contamination in the region. The activists, dressed in protective suits, removed GE papaya fruit from trees and secured them in hazardous material containers.
Pat and Jay call for destruction of test field
Pat and Jay appeared on television and in print demanding that the government complete the process begun by the activists and immediately destroy all papaya trees, fruit, seedlings, and seeds in the research station to prevent further contamination. The story became one of the biggest scandals in Thailand.
They were charged with theft, trespassing and destruction of property.
No charges were made against the officials at the research station, who threatened to rob papaya farmers of their livelihoods by contaminating their crop, whose seeds trespassed into the fields of farmers who didn't want them, and whose error led to the contamination of papaya which then had to be destroyed.
Almost two months after Greenpeace took action against the contamination, the government acknowledged that a plantation 4 kms from the research station had been contaminated, and destroyed the farmer's papaya.
Greenpeace was proven right.
The government collected samples from 2,345 plantations in 35 provinces.
They admitted that 24 plantations had been contaminated.
Government destroys test field
On September 15th, 2004, the government destroyed the GE papaya in the research station's experimental field.
Thus, they fulfilled their civic duty by completing the job that the Greenpeace team had begun.
Instead of getting to the bottom of who precisely was responsible for the contamination, the very department that was responsible for the contamination decided to take legal action against Pat and Jay.
Shutting down opposition
These charges are not about the events of July 27th, 2004: they're about preventing future events of this nature.
This story is about putting a chill on further protest against GE crops in Thailand.
It's about making examples of a journalist and an ecology professor who dared to speak up, and throw them in jail for it.
At stake is the entire nature of civil society in one of the most developed countries of Southeast Asia.
Take Action!
中國核准加入《生物安全議定書》將深刻影響基因改造作物的國際貿易2005年 5月 19日列印 發送 綠色和平阻止基因改造大豆由阿根庭運往西班牙。
放大圖片 北京 — 國家環境保護總局今天在記者會上公佈國務院已經核准加入《卡塔赫納生物安全議定書》。中國加入議定書以後，可以引用議定書的條款對進口基因改造生物進行嚴格管理，保護人民健康和環境安全。由於中國是基因改造作物的進口大國，中國的批准加入將大大促進議定書在國際上的認受性及實際作用，並可能對基因改造產品的國際貿易產生長遠的影響。
《生物安全議定書》是管理基因改造生物越境轉移的國際性法律框架，它於2003年9月生效，現已有119個國家批准加入。議定書最重要的條款是任何國家出口基因改造生物到另一個國家，必須取得進口國家的事先知情同意。如果出口方不能提供足夠科學證據證明產品無害，進口國有權拒絕進口。議定書更規定轉基因生物必須明確標識。
綠色和平歡迎中國政府的決定，綠色和平項目經理施鵬翔表示：「中國的加入是議定書生效以來最重要的事件，因為沒有中國的參與，這份議定書的國際效力是不完整的。中國是農業大國，又是全球進口最多基因改造農作物的國家之一，因此中國加入議定書不單可以促進對進口基因改造作物的管理，而且將會增加議定書的國際地位和作用。」
中國是生物多樣性大國，更是一些重要作物（如大豆及水稻）的生物多樣性中心，可是，中國也是進口基因改造農作物的主要國家，去年進口差不多2000萬噸的大豆，專家估計當中有七成基因改造大豆。墨西哥曾於2001年發生野生玉米受到美國進口的基因改造玉米污染，引起國際關注基因改造作物對環境和遺傳資源的威脅。為此，綠色和平一直呼籲及遊說中國儘快加入議定書，並引用議定書的內容對進口基因改造生物進行嚴格管理。
加入議定書也意味著中國有義務履行議定書的內容，這將對我國的生物安全管理提出不少挑戰，例如對基因改造生物進行嚴格的風險評估、風險管理和增加決策的透明度和公眾參與。最近湖北發現基因改造水稻在沒未經批准的情況下進行非法銷售和種植，也顯示我國生物安全管理的能力有待改善
