How Nestlé spins when it gives into campaigners' demands

How Nestlé spins when it gives into campaigners' demands:

Thanks to the great work of Greenpeace and activists, Nestlé have agreed to switch to Palm Oil sourced from sustainable plantations by 2015; a clear victory in the preservation of Orang-utan rainforest habitat.

Nestlé have used this opportunity to praise themselves for their efforts to preserve the ecology of the Indonesian rainforest, showing that they clearly don’t take responsibility for their actions to date. This isn’t the first time they’ve used such spin. Click this link below to see why the Boycott Nestlé action originated, and what media spin we can expect from Nestlé.

Margaret River offshore drilling lease approved

Margaret River offshore drilling lease approved:

Given the events in the Gulf of Mexico, how on earth could the Rudd government approve such a thing, particularly in such an ecologically diverse area? This government has no environmental credibility whatsoever.

getupaustralia — April 27, 2010 — Climate change is the great moral challenge of our generation.

To delay any longer would be reckless and irresponsible for our economy and for our environment.

Your chance to save a rare species

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 21:27:34 +1030

[I’m reproducing this email here because it’s a cause that’s important to me, sorry if you don’t like the content - Wayne]

The Sumatran orang-utan is in extreme danger. This gentle and intelligent ape has become critically endangered as its Indonesian forest habitat is destroyed. Experts predict there may be just 234 wild Sumatran orang-utans left in another 45 years.

Once lost, these unique and beautiful animals are gone forever. Greenpeace works urgently with local communities to stop the destruction of the Paradise Forests of Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Your generous donation today will help us save the habitats of many innocent and vulnerable species.

Donate today to save the Paradise Forests

Did you know that the Paradise Forests also serve another role that is vital to us all? The vast tracts of forest help to combat dangerous climate change by soaking up tonnes of greenhouse emissions. Unfortunately, when a forest is cut down, it releases greenhouse pollution in huge amounts. Forest destruction is responsible for a massive 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Incredibly, deforestation has helped make Indonesia the world’s third largest climate polluter.

For more than 10 years, Greenpeace has been working to preserve and protect the Paradise Forests.

At the invitation of customary landowners, we help close down corrupt forestry activities and set up community-operated eco-forestry alternatives.
We force governments to protect forests under law and hand out harsher penalties to illegal loggers and their wholesalers.
In Australia, we show consumers how to buy Good Wood-friendly products to lessen demand for ancient forest timber.

Last year, we took action in one of the largest logging concessions in Papua New Guinea. With non-violent direct action, we forced the logging company to start negotiating a better deal for local communities and the forest. It was a great result but there is still so much to do.

All donations to Greenpeace are tax-deductible. Every dollar of our funding comes from concerned people like you, who care for our natural world. Thank you for your generous support.

For the future of our forests,
Greenpeace Australia Pacific

PS: There are more species at risk of extinction in Indonesia than anywhere else on earth. If logging and orang-utan hunting are stopped, the numbers of critically endangered Sumatran orang-utans could increase to over 6,500 in just 45 years. By donating to our forests work, you can directly protect the homes of the Sumatran orang-utan and many other endangered animals, including the Sumatran tiger, the proboscis monkey and the clouded leopard, that may soon disappear forever.
