Nestle: Palm Oil and the Orang-utan – viral video banned!

News just in from Greenpeace in the UK, where a bunch of orang-utans have taken over Nestlé headquarters!

Nestlé, maker of Kit Kat, uses palm oil from companies that are trashing Indonesian rainforests, threatening the livelihoods of local people and pushing orang-utans towards extinction.

We all deserve to have a break – but having one shouldn’t involve taking a bite out of Indonesia’s precious rainforests. We’re asking Nestlé to give rainforests and orang-utans a break and stop buying palm oil from destroyed forests.

The above YouTube video has been pulled – due to a complaint by Nestlé. Oops, are they sore, or what? You can read Christian’s great blog about it here.
Here’s the Vimeo version.

Have a break? from Greenpeace UK on Vimeo.
