<DIV style="TEXT-ALIGN: left" dir=ltr>Dear friends,
<BR><BR>Half the Earth's forests are now gone.
<BR> <BR><STRONG>15 BILLION trees are chopped down every
year</STRONG> -- 476 every <U>single</U> second. That's our
rainforests, jungles, and woodlands being decimated to make
space for ever more cattle, palm oil, and soybeans.
<BR> <BR>But today we have <STRONG>a unique
opportunity</STRONG> to change it. <BR> <BR>Right now the
EU is considering <STRONG>a new law to ban any products linked
to deforestation</STRONG>. If the law passes, the EU is such a
massive market that it could force the world's biggest
companies to change, transforming the global supply chain, and
helping to save our woodlands, wetlands, and
mangroves. <BR> <BR><STRONG>Earth needs this law --
so let's make sure it passes!</STRONG>
<BR> <BR><STRONG>This is not a usual petition.</STRONG>
You'll be signing an official EU consultation. Every voice
counts. Every signature builds the resolve of lawmakers to
pass the most ambitious forest-protecting law possible. Let's
be deafening. <STRONG>Click to add your voice and forward to
everyone you can:</STRONG> <BR><BR><A class=wordwrap href="https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/eu_stop_deforestation_loc/?bUSymfb&signup=1&cl=17701543766&v=129009&_checksum=bc980b251d1129fc68a94bfd2f85a2ad5d005d4effbf2e9c29cb78627724c174&signup=1"><B><U>I support the forest-saving law</U></B></A>
<BR><BR>Deforestation was serious a decade ago -- now it's a
planetary emergency. <STRONG>Forests provide our oxygen, they
protect the climate, and are home to 80% of land-based
life.</STRONG> And yet they're being totally destroyed.
<BR><BR>But now <STRONG>we could finally have a law to save
the trees!</STRONG> <BR> <BR>This new bill could ban the
sale of forest-killing products across the EU, cutting the
huge profits made from the destruction of woodlands,
rainforests, and trees that have stood for centuries, and
setting a global precedent. <BR> <BR>So let's win it! For
the jungles, the jaguars, the orangutans, the gorillas, and
millions of people who live in the world's forests -- and for
every time you've ever looked up at a tree in wonder --
<STRONG>add your name to the official consultation
now:</STRONG> <BR><BR><A class=wordwrap href="https://secure.avaaz.org/campaign/en/eu_stop_deforestation_loc/?bUSymfb&signup=1&cl=17701543766&v=129009&_checksum=bc980b251d1129fc68a94bfd2f85a2ad5d005d4effbf2e9c29cb78627724c174&signup=1"><B><U>I support the forest-saving law</U></B></A>
