STOP Trashing Our Planet

Why I'm standing

As a classical homoeopath a top priority or mine is 'to first remove the cause', and since 80% of chronic illness is said to have an environmental cause, I find it alarming that our rates are used to poison us with fluoride, glyphosate, 1080 and other unnecessary toxic and polluting substances and practices. I want to put a STOP to fixing people up from this abuse by eradicating as many as possible from Auckland.

About me

I have been co-ordinator for Friends of Sherwood since June 1990, that began with a 'People's Assembly' which decided we wanted a neighbourhood as free as possible of toxic chemicals, waste, and other pollution, after discovering that the council didn't know how to maintain the local children's playground without using poisons. We showed them how Integrated organic management could compete with the cost of Roundup and do a better job for the whole of EastCoastBays.

My priorities

  1. Restore democracy and heal the wounds of discrimination in a community divided by medical mandates.
  2. Lift the toxic burden off the community, and respect body sovereignty, for our health and wellbeing
  3. Protect the birthright of future generations and create a vibrant healthy city we can all be proud of
