Global actions will take place with marches and protests to Brazilian Embassies, fast food restaurants, chalking in public spaces, meditation circles and candle-light vigils. If you'd like to join in, look for your local Climate Save group or if you don't have one, contact us about joining. RSVP:event page
Greenpeace has joined the fight against the destruction of the Amazon by giant animal agriculture companies. "Fast food companies like KFC, McDonald's and Burger King sourcing from Brazil cannot stand by as the Amazon is being torched, while they still use beef and soya from the country. These forests are typically cleared to produce meat and crops, which is fuelling the climate emergency. Fast food companies must reject such products linked to recent and ongoing Amazon destruction. They should publicly speak out against Bolsonaro's attacks on forests and Indigenous Peoples' rights."
Tell these companies to stop rainforest destruction at this link.
Please watch: this UN report spells it out clearly.
