I've just read that Migros has sat down with other retailers and sent a letter threatening to stop selling Brazilian products if the slash-and-burn practices that Bolsonaro and his henchmen are causing are not reduced. Bravo! We can only hope that these words will be followed by action.

I would also very much welcome that. I mean, slash-and-burn accounts for around 10% of global CO2 emissions. I don't think we should support something like that. It's simply not worth it. For the sake of our environment. Slash-and-burn agriculture leads to an increase in global warming. This causes sea levels to rise and icebergs at the poles to melt, among other things. Weather disasters are occurring. We should work together to protect tropical rainforests.

I can only agree with you, I was very pleased when I read that! Keep it up, it's a quarter past twelve or even later! But where does Switzerland (and therefore Migros) import all the feed soy for animal fattening from, if not from Brazil....? If Migros really wants to do something about climate change, it should massively reduce the supply of meat and other animal products, not promote it! This would do the most good, but then again that's probably too heretical for a major distributor....
