...maybe you can hire... The A Team!

Well, The A Team are fictional, but Greenpeace are real... we're not hard to find ... and we don't charge. And this is what we do (all together now, DA-DADA- DUM-- -DADA-DUM):

Thanks to pressure from thousands of people around the globe, Yum! Brands, the largest restaurant company in the world and parent company of KFC, has released a new set of commitments which could make the paper and packaging it uses much more rainforest-friendly.

I LOVE IT WHEN A PLAN COMES TOGETHER!

Last year we showed that wood fiber from rainforest trees was ending up in KFC’s famous chicken buckets and other paper packaging. Activists around the world spoke up, telling KFC and Yum executives that trashing tiger forests was not acceptable. It seems all those hours in orangutan costumes have made the company pay attention.

Yesterday, they officially released new policies that – if they stick – would prevent KFC, Taco Bell and Pizza Hut, and other Yum companies, from trashing rainforests for paper packaging. That means good news for tigers, and bad news for any paper companies that are still destroying rainforests. More here:
