Tesco and Asda won’t be getting my shopping pound

from the greenpeace website in the US
Sinar Mas are a big company that make paper and palm oil. They do it by slash and burning then clearing huge areas of rainforest and peatland in Indonesia releasing massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and making this third world country the world’s third worst CO2 polluter.
Greenpeace have stuck their head above the parapet and revealed which supermarkets in the UK take products from Sinar Mas…. Tesco (no surprises there) and Walmart (Asda). Other famous brands that do business with them are KFC, Pizza Hut, Dunkin Donuts and Campbell’s soups.
So it’s up to us to decide where we do our shopping and whether we want to spend our hard earned cash on companies prepared to do business with world wreckers.
To be fair – this Greenpeace article says Tesco has stopped buying from them but it’s the principle of the thing.
