company to help save the Rainforest!" this was an email send to me from Greenpeace and I am allowed to forward it to other people! "
I know there are people here that care about our world and thought you would like to take action too! I was thinking of buying Timberland shoes , now I am glad I had put it off!
I've got GREAT news to share with you! Just a month after I wrote to you about the impact of leather shoe production on the Amazon, Nike has taken a bold step to preserve the rainforest and reduce the impacts of global warming.
Today, Nike announced a new policy that ensures the leather used in Nike shoes won’t come from the Amazon Rainforest until the forest is protected.
This may be one small step for Nike, but it's one giant leap to preserve the Amazon Rainforest and to reduce global warming emissions. Now it’s up to brands like Timberland, Adidas, and Reebok to catch up to Nike’s leadership.
Tell Timberland, Reebok, and Adidas that they’ve got big shoes to fill in Amazon protection!
This is such an important policy shift because the cattle industry is Brazil's top source of carbon emissions and the largest driver of deforestation anywhere in the world.
If Nike can move forward on Amazon protection, there's nothing stopping other shoe manufacturers from following through.
I want to personally thank you for the emails you've sent. Clearly, Nike has heard you, and I hope you’ll keep pushing other shoe manufacturers to make a difference.
