❣️Virgin Gorda, you’ve truly stepped up! Heartfelt thanks for over 700 responses to our Non-GMO Mosquito Release Feedback Survey! 📈
✏️ Whether you filled it out online, connected with one of our fabulous outreach officers or participated through a phone call, your feedback is invaluable in shaping the path forward!
🗣️ Here’s what some of you had to say:
- “Very grateful for the programme. Releases happened both by my house and workplace, and I have not been bitten at either location in recent memory.”
- “I would like to see the project continue. It seems we are at a tipping point, and if we stop now, we risk losing all the reductions we’ve seen. Great job, Green VI Team!”
- “Now that everything has been explained to me, I understand a lot more. I’m definitely for it.”
📣Your voices matter!
Have a look below at our initial findings 🔎
✅CCC - As always, let’s keep our community safe by cleaning up, covering up and communicating:
🦟 Check for mosquito breeding sites around your home, school or business
🌅 Wear long sleeves and pants during peak biting times - dusk and dawn
🏡 Share this information with your neighbors!
💚 Thank you again for being part of the solution!

Amazing work Green VI 🤩
Great stuff. Can you make public the figures on Wolbachia mosquito population and incidence of diseases before, during and after releasing Wolbachia mosquitoes? Also, I think the public should be informed that the release of W-mosquitos does not intend to reduce the population of local mosquitos but rather reduce the incidence of diseases carried by mosquitos.
‼️World Vegetarian Day is today, October 1st, so let's think about eating less meat to cut down on the green house gas emissions and high water usage related to raising animals for food. 🐄🐖
🗓️🌞 Meatless Mondays are an easy way to kick off a lifestyle change, now that vegetarian choices are so varied and delicious. 🥗
👏🏽 Every little change counts on the journey to better health and well-being for all. 🌎

🎉 The correct answer is A! Lentils pack enough protein that just 1 cup and a sprinkle over 2 teaspoons can match the protein in a 3 oz portion of chicken! 🌱 Check out more details here: HuffPost Protein Sources (www.huffpost.com/entry/great-protein-sources_n_1347235/amp). See you next Tuesday! 💚
