Welcome back GFZ's,
Did you know Greenpeace is cracking down on large retailers to meet deforestation-banning targets by 2025?
Recent reports have shown that major retailers like Coles and Woolworths have fallen short in addressing deforestation in their supply chains. But don't worry; we're here to shine a light on the green solutions and options available to make a difference. There has never been a better time!
Australia has the second higest deforestation rates globally (see table below), killing millions of native Australian animals yearly. Australia is undergoing a hidden deforestation crisis, with cattle grazing for beef production bein the leading cause.
This issue has persisted for decades, and according to a Greenpeace Australia Pacific report, none of the assessed companies—including Aldi, McDonald's, JBS, Tyson, Hungry Jacks, Teys, IGA, and Comgroup—scored above 50 per cent in the Greenpeace Scorecard. And Greenpeace is determined to keep companies accountable!
Greenpeace has a clear message for corporations in Australia: Stop bulldozing forests for your products. They're asking a commitment and actions to no deforestation or destruction of natural ecosystems, and to meet that commitment by 2025.
The big beef here is beef itself. As the top culprit driving deforestation in Australia, Greenpeace wants companies to ensure their beef isn’t coming from cattle operations that have been destroying forests since 2020. Tackle this, and we can save a lot of trees—and the critters that call them home.
This highlights a significant challenge but also an opportunity to address the issue, educate ourselfs and see what we can do from our homes.
Here’s how you can make an impact
Support Your Local Farmers:
Support Ethical Companies:
Grow Your Own Food:
By making these mindful choices and supporting local sustainable practices, we can help turn the tide on deforestation. Big retailers have a long way to go, but together, we can cultivate change and grow a greener future.
