<P><B>Brazil’s Cerrado is burning so Apple can call its phones
“carbon-neutral.</B>” Fast-growing eucalyptus plantations,
bankrolled by Apple’s offset budget, <B>are swallowing savanna,
draining water tables, and uprooting communities who have farmed
here for generations</B>. Even climate experts say the trees store
far less carbon than promised.<BR><BR>Apple markets itself as the
company that “thinks different”. <B>It's time to prove
it.</B><BR><BR>We have to pressure Apple to stop sacrificing
people and ecosystems, and only public outrage can force Apple to
scrap this fake climate action. Let's demand solutions that actually
cut emissions.</P>

target=_blank>Sign the Petition: Tell Apple to Stop Fueling
Destruction in the Cerrado</A></P>
<P>Apple’s 2030 initiative, which aims for a net-zero carbon
footprint, has made it a central partner in the controversial carbon
credit industry. The problem is that projects often involve
<B>planting fast-growing, non-native trees like eucalyptus in
biodiverse ecosystems</B>. These plantations act like "water
guzzlers," draining local springs and disrupting the livelihoods of
indigenous and smallholder communities. Apple’s reputation as a
"green" leader is on the line.</P>
<P>Apple stakes its reputation as a serious leader on climate
change. But the evidence is stacking up that these plantations have
devastating social and ecological side effects. <B>This is not a
sustainable solution; it's a false-green smokescreen that sacrifices
a vibrant ecosystem and its people for a corporate PR win.</B></P>
<P>Apple’s quest for a green future cannot come at the cost of a
humanitarian and environmental crisis. Our collective power can
dismantle the flawed logic behind these projects and force
corporations to confront their true impact.</P>

NOW</A></P>
<P>We’ve made one of the most valuable companies in the world take
action. With people power, we’ve made Apple create a human rights
policy, commit to freedom of expression, and have transparency on
its supply chain to prevent the use of forced labor. Together, we
can do it again.</P><IMG alt=""
