*[Enwl-eng] Tree massacre

-->
Majestic forests around the world are being destroyed to produce ever more 
beef, palm oil, cocoa, timber, and paper. Now legislators in the US are 
considering new laws to stop forest-killing products from entering their 
country -- this could transform global supply chains and help save our 
forests! But with US elections looming we don’t have much time – we need to 
deliver massive public pressure to lawmakers fast! Add your name to protect 
our precious forests: Dear friends, All over the world, ancient forests that 
sustain life on Earth are being destroyed to produce beef, palm oil, cocoa, 
timber, and paper for ever-hungry consumer markets like the US.Now we have a 
HUGE chance to fight back!Legislators in the US are considering powerful new 
laws to keep forest-killing products out of the country. This could be a 
game-changer – the US is home to many of the world’s biggest companies, and 
these laws could transform global supply chains and help protect these 
precious forests, and the people and animals who call them home.But first we 
have to get the laws passed, and fast. Elections are looming, so let's show 
US lawmakers that citizens across the world want them to act. Let's reach 1 
million global voices, and Avaaz will team up with partners to deliver a 
massive call to stop the forest massacre that threatens us all!

                                Dear friends,
                                All over the world, ancient forests that 
sustain life on Earth are being destroyed to produce beef, palm oil, cocoa, 
timber, and paper for ever-hungry consumer markets like the US.

                                Now we have a HUGE chance to fight back!

                                Legislators in the US are considering 
powerful new laws to keep forest-killing products out of the country. This 
could be a game-changer – the US is home to many of the world’s biggest 
companies, and these laws could transform global supply chains and help 
protect these precious forests, and the people and animals who call them 
home.

                                But first we have to get the laws passed, 
and fast. Elections are looming, so let's show US lawmakers that citizens 
across the world want them to act. Let's reach 1 million global voices, and

                                Giant American companies like McDonald's and 
Walmart have been exposed for allegedly selling beef linked to the 
deforestation of the Amazon rainforest. Up to half of all packaged products 
in supermarkets contain palm oil, whose production is wrecking the habitats 
of orangutans and pygmy elephants. US supermarkets are a forest destruction 
crime scene – everything from coffee, chocolate, paper and cosmetics can be 
tainted by deforestation!

                                These new laws would help stop companies 
from importing products linked to deforestation, cutting off a massive 
driver of forest destruction! With US companies forced to comply with the 
new laws, the impact will be felt all over the world.

                                With US Congressional elections in November, 
and our forests facing massive threats, this year could really make a 
difference. So let's get these laws passed now! For the trees, the jaguars, 
the songbirds, the gorillas, and the millions of people who live in the 
world's forests -- and for every time you've ever looked up at a tree in 
wonder -- add your name now.
                                Add your name: Stop The Forest Massacre!
                                We know this works. Two years ago, hundreds 
of thousands of Avaazers helped drive the biggest response to an 
environmental consultation in history, flooding the European Union with 
messages demanding a ban on forest-killing products. Now the EU is preparing 
a bill on this crucial issue! Let's come together again to protect Earth’s 
forests before it’s too late.

                                With hope,

                                Laura, Bert, Spyro, Risalat, Anneke, Mike, 
Aloys and the whole Avaaz team
