I read your report Unilever blacklists Indonesian Planter  that Europe, and the  world's top palm oil buyer has blacklisted an oil palm grower for its  destructive policies on the Rain forest in increasing its oil palm  acreage. While it's highly commendable that such a move be instituted, I  feel that such a step in getting the message across has been directed  not at the parties mainly responsible for the destruction of our  diminishing rainforests. The effort by the Green groups should be  directed to the American, European, Japanese and Chinese importers of  hardwood for the building of their houses and furniture. Such felling  has a Directly disastrous effect on the size of our diminishing forests,  while it can be said that replacing trees with oil palms at least  maintains the oxygen level of the Earth, I hope
Target Timber companies!
