Happy Holidays Everyone!

Here is the latest boycott list!
Please add this to the first boycott list.
The purpose of this list is to end the destruction of rain forests
world-wide. This includes the temperate rain forests  in Canada and
Russia; and the tropical rain forests in South America and Asia. The
great forests are the lungs of our Earth. Without them life could not
exist. We hope 1999 becomes a better  year for our cousins the trees!
Some of the oil companies listed on the first list such as Texaco and
Shell would be included here due to their environmental damage to the
forests. Unocal (Union 76 stations) now added and it is recommended that
we purchase our oil products ( if we must purchase them) from British
Petroleum.

Home Depot - the largest home improvement stores in the world of
products from old growth forests. It is a major force in the destruction
of the world's last old growth forests from British Columbia to the
Amazon.  See web site: www.ran.org/ran/special/homedepot/intro.html

Mitsubishi Corporation, Macmillan Bloedel, Ltd. and Georgia- Pacific
Corporation - three of the world's worst destroyers of forest. Some of
Mitsubishi's other companies include Mitsubishi automobiles, Mitsubishi
electronic equipment, Kirin beer, and Nikon camera equipment, see web
site: www.ran.org/ran_campaigns/mitsubishi

Another excellent site is: www.eDF.ORG/programs/International/chico

Much of rain forests are burned to farm grain for beef and other meats.
Those fires (remember  last years fires) often get out of control. To
help in this area see the web site: www.vegan.org

To get an idea of how some of our more radical environmental brothers
and sisters are helping and their philosophy, I recommend reading the
book Ecodefense it is available at the web site:
www.enviroweb.org/ef/merchandise/index.html

If anyone cares to translate this into spanish or portuguese feel free
and I will send it out in that language.

The next boycott list will be on the destruction of the Earth's ozone
layer.

Thank you all for participating I hope you all the best for the new
year!
