The fires are starting again, John. Beautiful rainforests from
the Amazon to Indonesia are once more being set ablaze to feed greedy
corporations' demand for cheap soy and palm oil.

It's up to you and me to force Nestlé, Unilever, and other powerful
multinationals to stick to their anti-deforestation promises -- before
it's too late.

Add your name: Demand the makers of Kitkat and Dove take urgent action to
stop our rainforests from burning! [ [link removed] ]Take Action!

John,

As you read this, thick smoke is rising from forests in Brazil, Indonesia
and Malaysia, poisoning the air and driving people and animals from their
homes. Majestic tall trees that give shelter to orangutans, sloths, rhinos
and other rare species are burning to the ground, to be replaced by
endless vast soy and oil palm monocultures.

It wasn't supposed to be this way. Nestlé, Unilever, Mondelez, Procter &
Gamble and other powerful corporations all promised that by 2020, they'd
stop sourcing palm oil from producers that destroyed rainforests. But the
lure of easy profits won out -- and now, our forests are bearing the
consequences.

John, we can't let them get away with this. We need to ramp up
the pressure on their bosses until every single gram of soy and drop of
palm oil in the products they sell is sourced responsibly.

Every name on this petition will serve as a reminder to these corporations
that empty promises won't save our vanishing rainforests -- it's time for
real, meaningful action.

to stop our rainforests from burning!

It's been a full decade since Nestlé and the other companies in the
Consumer Goods Forum (CGF) -- a corporate alliance whose members produce
the food and household goods millions of people use every day -- committed
to end deforestation in their supply chains.

Now it's 2020, the moment of truth, and many CGF corporations, including
Nestlé, have admitted they won't be meeting their anti-deforestation
goals. From soy-fattened beef and chicken to the palm oil in ice cream and
shampoo, too many of the products filling our fridges and cabinets are
still tainted with burning rainforests.

Meanwhile, the 2020 fire season is already beginning -- and some experts
are saying this year's Amazon fires could be worse than the inferno that
devastated one of our planet's most precious ecosystems last summer.

[ [link removed] ]The clock is ticking! Demand Nestlé and co. take urgent action to stop
our rainforests from burning.

Without enough public pressure on Nestlé and co., these greedy profit
hoarders will simply keep making empty promises while pushing our forests
to the point of no return. That's why we've joined a powerful coalition to
hammer our message home -- and we're asking you to join us, just like when
thousands of you successfully pressured Pepsi into radically overhauling
its palm oil sourcing policy.

Together we can put out the fires, keep animals safe and stop corporations
from trashing our planet and climate -- but only if we act fast.
