Palm oil campaign - it's Nestle!

Yesterday I acted as legal support for a bunch of Greenpeace active supporters from around the country who came together, along with some Greenpeace climbers, to take our message to Nestle at their HQ in sunny Croydon to stop using palm oil bought from a horrible company called Sinar Mas.  Sinar Mas get their palm oil by destroying the rainforest and then planting palm tree plantations in its place.

Toasting our tree

Apple tree twinning - better late than never!

A lovely sunny afternoon, 50 people, photographers from all 3 local papers and sticky Dorset apple cake!

Poundbury Garden centre donated a perfect Cox's Orange Pippin. The Mayor came to plant the tree and talked about the 10:10 pledge taken by Dorchester Town Council.

Think on...

I can't understand why there aren’t rings of young people blocking bulldozers and preventing them from constructing coal-fired power plants.
