Grignoter une barre chocolatée Kitkat revient à tuer un orang-outang ?
Greenpeace lance une campagne pour dénoncer l’utilisation par Nestlé d’huile de palme issue de la destruction des forêts tropicales et des tourbières indonésiennes, dans la fabrication de certains de ses produits, notamment les barres chocolatées Kitkat.

Voici le texte de la pétition : Elle demande à la direction de Nestlé d'arrêter de s'approvisionner après de fournisseurs qui détruisent la foret indonésienne et de s'engager avec d'autres industriels et avec le gouvernement indonésien afin d'établir un moratoire sur la déforestation.

Dear Paul Bulcke & Peter Brabeck-Letmathe,

The palm oil you buy to make Kit Kat is often the result of forest and peatland destruction, which is speeding up climate change and destroying the home of the endangered orang-utan.

Despite your suspending direct contracts with Sinar Mas, you continue be involved in the destruction of Indonesia's precious rainforests through using Sinar Mas palm oil via such third party suppliers as Cargill.

Sinar Mas continues to destroy rainforests for palm plantations, despite the negative impact on the people and wildlife that depend on it for their survival, and despite the fact that it is accelerating climate change.

You use over 320,000 tonnes of palm oil every year, which goes into a range of well-known products including Kit Kat. In the last three years, your use of palm oil has almost doubled according to your own figures.

As the world’s largest food and drink company, Nestlé could be using its influence to insist on positive changes in the supply chain that would have a real benefit for the rainforests of Indonesia.

Multinational food and cosmetics giant Unilever has already committed to such action by calling for peatland protection and an halt to rainforest destrction, whilst Nestlé has failed to take the same action.

Please stop abdicating responsibility for dealing with this issue to others and instead immediately:

- Stop buying Sinar Mas palm oil and pulp products from third-party suppliers. - Engage with the Indonesian government and industry to deliver on peatland protection and establish a moratorium on forest clearance

Please give the rainforests and the orang-utans a break!

Thank you for your time.
