'We'll be showing people in Liverpool that they are able to buy good, wholesome organic food and that they can avoid buying into this GM experiment. This will send a clear message to our supermarkets that we want GM food off the shelves and banned from the city. Don't buy it, go organic,' said local Greenpeace campaigner, Pete Mulhall.

Climate change dictates that we cannot meet our energy needs by tapping new supplies of fossil fuels. We need to phase out the use of oil, coal and gas and make a switch to clean renewable energy.

Major DIY stores, supermarkets, and trade retailers are committed to the FSC standard which is supported by Greenpeace, World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and other environmental groups.
