Tell Fast Food Chains To Stop Serving Up Rainforest Destruction!

[tabatha]

Update: Burger King has announced that it is in the process of cutting Sinar Mas out of its supply chain!

Palm oil plantations are eating into pristine Paradise rainforests and peatlands in Southeast Asia. Those disappearing forests are critical habitat for endangered species like the orangutan and Sumatran tiger. When they're cut and burned, they also become a leading cause of climate pollution, making Indonesia the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitter after the U.S. and China.

The giant conglomerate Sinar Mas is the largest palm oil company in the region and a notorious forest destroyer. In the last six months, leading consumer companies such as Nestle, Kraft and Unilever have acted to remove Sinar Mas from their supply chains. But the fast food industry has been lagging far behind.

In 2009, Sinar Mas palm oil branch Golden Agri-Resources highlighted Pizza Hut, Dunkin Donuts, and Burger King as part of its “leading global client base.” So far, only Burger King has cleaned up its supply chain or instituted substantive policies to prevent sourcing from Sinar Mas.

Sign our petition telling the CEOs of Pizza Hut and Dunkin' Donuts to “hold the rainforest destruction.”
