We back your boycott over Amazon deforestation fears - please stick to your threats if the Brazilian government goes ahead with its disastrous deforestation plan.
We back your boycott over Amazon deforestation fears - please stick to your threats if the Brazilian government goes ahead with its disastrous deforestation plan.
Why is this important?
Brazil’s government is at it again. They’re introducing a new law that could let private companies take over huge swathes of the Amazon rainforest and use the land to grow agricultural products like soy. The result could be deforestation and environmental devastation on a massive scale.UK companies are speaking out and doing the right thing - threatening to boycott Brazilian produce if their government presses ahead with these disastrous plans.
As members of the public we usually use our consumer power to call out companies for doing the wrong thing. Today, we want to celebrate you for doing the right thing - and to make sure that, if necessary, you follow through on your threat to boycott.
