I realised I hadn't posted since January - I'm still here, just really, boringly, busy. Normal-ish life will resume around June, with any luck just in time for the English 'summer'.
Check out the video at http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/kitkat to find out why you should tell Nestle to stop buying palm oil from destroyed rainforests. Sorry to be didactic, but they're being a bit crap.
This is what I wrote to them:
Subject: It's time Nestle acted responsibly - stop destroying rainforests for palm oilEmail: I'm sure you've seen many of these emails already, so I don't need to repeat the facts and remind you of the concerns many people feel about Nestle's relationship with the palm oil industry and the destruction of rainforest habitats.
As the world's largest food and drink company, Nestle can surely afford to set the standards for environmentally responsible companies. As a consumer, I try to make the most sustainable choices I can when shopping, but without the support of manufacturers, individual impact is limited.
I look forward to receiving your response in due course.
I really think that these big companies make enough profit to be able to afford to act responsibly.
