Greenpeace

Some people think that Sting saved the rainforests of Brazil sometime in the early 1990s, through appearances on PrimeTime Live or a Police reunion concert.  Well, that's a big fat no.  Police hasn't reunited.

No, actually, it's the rainforest that hasn't been saved either.  The trees are still being cut down, the indigenous people down there are still being pushed off their land, and logger-barons are reaping the benefits as people all over the world fawn over shiny dark woods from South America or others demand cheap plywood.  Sure, plywood sheets and mahogany armoires have a pretty big price difference, but either way, the Amazon is the loser here. 

Our hard-working folks in the Amazon have been monitoring everything going on down in Brazil, and they've followed the latest Amazon crime- soy production.  ADM, Bunge, and Cargill are all linked to slavery, deforestation and other no-nos down south.  Don't worry, campers, we exposed those jerks and we're going to keep on pressuring them until they stop ruining everything.  Soy that these radical extremists are cultivating down in Brazil has been traced from Brazil to an illegal port in Santarem, where it then flows over to Europe, where believe it or not, it ends up on fast food menus over there.  Aren't you glad you're in the good ol' US of A, and don't have to worry about all this?  Well, think again, because these Brazilian freedom-hating corporations are based right here, no doubt getting tax breaks and kickbacks, and laughing all the way to their bank.

We've been furiously trying to get this into the news cycle today-- apparently Katie Couric's new job is much more important than the Amazon.  FYI.
