KFC is trashing critical Sumatran tiger habitat with its throw-away packaging. Tell KFC to stop using rainforest destruction before it’s too late! WWW.Greenpeaceusa.org
Rainforest destruction. Not what you expected? Unfortunately it’s true. Our researchers have found that KFC’s throw-away packaging contains fiber from Indonesia’s rainforest.
That’s right. KFC is destroying the habitat of the last remaining Sumatran tigers for potato wedges and 12-piece buckets of extra crispy chicken. It’s disgusting.
KFC gets the paper for its packaging from a notoriously destructive company called Asia Pulp & Paper (APP). And APP is driving rainforest destruction in Indonesia at an alarming rate to meet KFC’s demands — leaving endangered Sumatran tigers with nowhere to go.
Don’t let fast food packaging be the end of the Sumatran tiger and everything else that calls the Indonesian rainforest home. Help us send 50,000 messages to KFC in the next 72 hours by taking action right now. Tell KFC to stop using rainforest destruction before it’s too late. Greenpeace activists are delivering the very same message at KFC’s headquarters in Kentucky right now. It’s all part of the next phase in our campaign to protect the Sumatran tiger and save the Indonesian rainforest.
Together, we’ve already convinced some of the world’s largest companies — Nestle, Mattel, Kroger — to cut ties with APP. Now it’s time to keep the momentum going and do the same with KFC.
It wasn’t that long ago that the Sumatran tiger thrived in Indonesia. Today there are only a few hundred left in the wild. What will this look like a week from now? A month? A year? The answer to that question is up to us.
Companies like Asia Pulp & Paper are showing no signs of letting up. Even with all of our successes, at the current rate of destruction, the forecast for these tigers and the rainforest itself isn’t looking good.
It’s not too late, but KFC has to stop buying packaging from Asia Pulp & Paper. It won’t be easy and the company is only going to do it if we generate enough public outcry. That’s why it’s so important that you take action today. Help us expose the truth behind KFC’s real recipe and tell it to stop serving up fast food in forest destruction. Send your email today.
For the forests,
