Orang-utans protest at Unilever's HQ and Factory

Greenpeace folk dressed as Orang-utans have climbed all over Unilever's London HQ and Merseyside factory to tell the company to stop destroying rainforests for palm oil. Palm oil is used in products like Dove and Persil, and the companies Unilever buys from are destroying valuable rainforest and peatland areas - bad news not only for the millions of people who depend on them for their way of life and endangered species such as the orang-utan, but also for the global climate.

Illegal Tree Felling By Developers at Garden Festival Site

Woodchipper for felled trees - Liverpool Garden Festival Site March 2007

Langtree McLean, the developers who want to build on the old garden festival site, have cut down more than 1000 trees already. But they don't have planning permission yet! If they get their way, the site will be almost completely clear-felled.

They are destroying semi-mature trees, including oaks, from the original plantings for the Garden Festival in the early 1980s. The tree-felling is also devastating for the birdlife established on the site, as birds commence their breeding activities at this time of year.

Now Look Here, Sonae!

Only two players have been produced by the Liverpool FC youth academy since they moved to Kirkby in 1998. That's a shocking record! It can't just be a coincidence that the academy is near to a chipboard factory that pumps out tonnes of cancer-causing chemicals every year. A school, public playing fields and houses are also easily within range of Sonae's pollution. The company have been in and out of Huyton Magistrates Court, but tiny fines and official indifference have left them free to cause all the disease and death they like. Read more >>

Save Newsham Park

Whilst I am not directly involved in this campaign I felt it necessary to highlight it as it is something that has been misreported in the local press but is a fine example of how local people can join together to fight for what's right. Read more >>

Nook Off !

Following the destruction of the woodland at Park Nook in Toxteth last Tuesday, a determined group of local campaigners gathered at the site for a show of defiance.
They pledged to try and prosecute the developers for their illegal behaviour on the day of destruction. They also decided to campaign to create a new space to replace the lost wildlife area. Read more >>
