fisherman’s friend” campaign - an unprecedented alliance between Greenpeace and
UK sustainable fishermen, to push for a real reform of broken EU fishing laws.

Orangutans deliver a giant KFC bucket to KFC's UK head office
Following the exposing of KFC trashing the rainforest to make fast food packaging yesterday, Greenpeace activists around the world are taking the message direct to KFC.

Our research has revealed that KFC is sourcing
paper for its packaging products from rainforests. This has been
confirmed in China, the UK and Indonesia. Products found to contain
rainforest fibre include cups, food boxes, French fries holders, napkins
and the famous chicken buckets.
