Could we lose the last 400 remaining Sumatran tigers to fast-food packaging?
At
the current rate of destruction, it’s possible. Every day, Asia Pulp
& Paper (APP) bulldozes giant swaths of tiger habitat in Indonesia
for fast-food packaging and other throw-away goods. It’s a tragic
situation for these tigers.
Their homes are being destroyed,
their lives forever changed. And then — as they roam through the
devastation that once was forest — they can be shot and killed by
poachers for their body parts or by the people moving in. If we lose these last 400 tigers, there's nothing we can do to bring them back.
Now
more than ever we need your help to ramp up the pressure on companies
buying rainforest fiber from APP and to save the last Sumatran tigers.
A Spiritual Life, the Co-operative Business Model, Green Business, NGOs, the World Social Forum, Solidarity Economics, and Scandanavian pro-Labor Social Democracy are among existing practices which offer an alternative to the prevailing destructive corporate and campaign finance models. Here, I invite people to explore Grassroots Sustainability and Social Responsibility through Social and Ecological Political Economics. The spiritual basis of this discussion is essential.
