Nestle Corporation Under Fire from Greenpeace

April 25, 2010 · Filed Under Environment · Comment 

Rainforest The world’s largest food company, Nestle, has been at the centre of some growing and very heated controversy over the past few weeks with environmental organisation Greenpeace sparking a crusade tying Nestle to the annihilation of rainforests in Indonesia through one of its palm oil suppliers.

The controversy is based on the fact that Nestle gets its palm oil from the Sinar Mas company in Indonesia who destroys the natural forests in order to have room to plant the tropical palm plant. Once Nestle was convinced that the activists at Greenpeace were correct in their allegations about the forest destruction, it has dropped their association with that company. The problem has not gone away for the big corporation however, as it still buys its palm oil from Cargill, which in turn, also gets its supply from Sinar Mas.

Nestle was successful in the removal of one of Greenpeace’s videos from the popular YouTube site relating to the issue, but the video spread over the Internet, while Facebook and Twitter were soon flooded with massive messages of protest. In the beginning, Nestle’s top personnel dismissed the activity which only made things worse, resulting in the Swiss food giant receiving nearly a quarter of a million emails regarding the issue.

Leather Jackets – Finding the Best Fit Online

April 21, 2010 · Filed Under Fashion & Beauty · Comment 

Leather Jackets Finding the right leather jacket that not only looks great, but also fits you as well as it should can often be difficult at the best of times. When you visit department stores you will notice that you only have a few styles to choose from and you are even limited when it comes to colour choice. If the salesperson is not familiar with leather or with correct sizing when it comes to jackets, you could walk out of the store either empty handed, or with a jacket that doesn’t look as great on you as it should.

How many times have you walked into a store thinking you were a particular size, only to find when you start trying things on, that the sizes are completely different than what you first thought. This is something that happens quite regularly, as each store will have its own sizing policy and garment sizes can often vary quite considerable from store to store. This problem can be alleviated by either locating a store that you may have purchased from in the past, one that you know will cater for your individual needs, or another option is to now look online for designer jackets and blazers.
