Fires are still raging in the Amazon, but the media seem to have returned to business as usual. This is very possibly the most important issue on earth. We must not look away until the fires have been extinguished.
We can fight the fires by boycotting Burger King, which uses more rainforest beef than any other fast-food company www.theguardian.com/… and is now owned by a corporation in Brazil. Its promises to stop using rainforest beef by 2030 are meaningless because the target date is so far away. www.dw.com/...
A petition to Burger King already exists on Action Network, and we should sign it. actionnetwork.org/… We should also join the boycott if one is underway at present (can someone provide a link?), and/or organize a boycott through Daily Kos, which can accomplish more than a petition.
A boycott stopped Burger King from buying rainforest beef in the ‘80s and can do so again. nvdatabase.swarthmore.edu/…
“All you can see is death.” www.kpax.com/… Read it and weep? No, read it and act!
We can make a difference — again. We should pledge not to eat at Burger King again until the fires have been extinguished. Pressure from so large a corporation can make a difference to Bolsonaro when he disregards everyone else, and our pressure can make a difference to Burger King.
