This new video from Greenpeace, which is launched today, is a parody of the awardwinning Dove Onslaught campaign. Unilever, the makers of Dove beauty products, are buying palm oil from suppliers who destroy Indonesia’s rainforests. By their own admission, Unilever is the biggest single user of palm oil in the world.
Greenpeace is not calling for a boycott. They are asking Unilever to act responsibly and to ensure that their products have not been produced at the expense of Indonesian rainforests and the climate. That means that their suppliers are not involved in the continued destruction of these rainforests.
More background on the campaign here.
Part of the campaign is protesting at some Unilever offices by ‘orang-utans’. They have been in London, Rotterdam and Rome.
