For the past three years, Greenpeace has been investigating the cattle industry in Brazil. Not only is the cattle industry the chief source of CO2 emissions in Brazil and also responsible for 80% of deforestation in the Amazon, it is also the largest single driver of deforestation anywhere in the world.
Our investigation exposed the Brazilian governments complicity in bankrolling the companies responsible for deforestation in the Amazon, as well as several top name shoe brands such as Adidas, Nike, Reebok, and Timberland whose demand for leather may be supporting cattle ranchers that are illegally slaughtering the Amazon.
Write to these shoemakers now and tell them to protect the Amazon and the climate:

Great ad!
I wish people would think more about the products they buy before buying them.
Mandatory labels would be nice:
"This product was made with child labor and is the main cause of deforestation in the Amazon."

Your totally right luisdecolombia, we need to spread the word about how our everyday lives (including our shoes) are connected to deforestation and the climate!

Really great message...and nicely done. I wish these sort of videos were seen during American Idol and all those other mindless TV shows Americans love to see.
