STOP DEFORESTATION
Sign and send the petition from the Union of Concerned Scientists and Daily Kos to these companies to tell them: Enough is enough; they must do their part to end tropical deforestation today.
A new report from the Union of Concerned Scientists shows 13 companies—Burger King, ConAgra, Hormel, Jack Link’s, Kroger, Mars, McDonald’s, Nestlé, Pizza Hut, Safeway, Subway, Walmart, and Wendy’s—currently all fail to guarantee their beef products, such as Jack Link’s beef jerky and Burger King’s hamburgers, are deforestation-free.
While reducing your personal beef consumption can reduce your individual climate impact, companies would have a much bigger impact, as the direct purchasers of beef, if they adopt strong, science-based, deforestation-free policies and practices and work with their suppliers to implement them.
Sign and send the petition from the Union of Concerned Scientists and Daily Kos to these companies to tell them: Enough is enough; they must do their part to end tropical deforestation today.
Keep fighting,
