The European Commission has just approved growing genetically engineered (GE) crops in the EU for the first time in 12 years, putting the agri-chemical industry's profits over safety concerns and public interest. The vast majority of Europeans are against GE crops.

A new initiative allows 1 million EU citizens a unique chance to make official requests of the European Commission. Let's build a million voices for a GE free future and call for a moratorium on GE foods in Europe. Sign the petition below and spread the word. Don't forget to include your address so that all of our signatures count for the citizens' initiative.

Nestlé, maker of Kit Kat, uses palm oil from companies that are trashing Indonesian rainforests, threatening the livelihoods of local people and pushing orang-utans towards extinction.

We all deserve to have a break - but having one shouldn't involve taking a bite out of Indonesia's precious rainforests. We're asking Nestlé to give rainforests and orang-utans a break and stop buying palm oil from destroyed forests.

Campaign link : Ask Nestle to give rainforests a break

After asking Nestlé to stop buying palm oil from destroyed rainforest, they're blocking e-mails coming from supporters of the Kit Kat campaign. Ask Nestlé to stop buying palm oil from destroyed rainforest by a phone call.
