Nordea finansierar Napalm-skogsskövling?
Det har kommit ett tips till kedjereaktion.nu med ett bifogat mejl. Informationen nedan har visat sig vara svår att bevisa då Nordea inte uttalar sig i frågan. Jag vill dock uppmana läsare att hålla öronen öppna då det är en oerhört viktig fråga. Läs det bifogade materialet nedan /Johan
Dear friends,
Right now Scandinavians have a unique opportunity to save some of the world’s most beautiful forests, and help the global climate too.
*On the other side of the world, the forests of Tasmania, Australia are under threat*. Not only are they home to species found nowhere else in the world, like the Tassie Devil, they’re also important to our global climate. Recent studies show that these old-growth forests store more carbon per hectare than almost any other in the world1 .
Yet at the moment an Australian company is *felling the trees and dropping napalm on the area, starting huge fires*^2 , to feed a controversial pulp mill that will only be built with Scandinavian help.
Hundreds of thousands of Australians are campaigning against the pulp mill. Thanks to their efforts, every bank in Australia has ruled out financing it. But Swedish bank Nordea is on the verge of approving funding. However, *Nordea relies on retail customers across Scandinavia — so, more than anyone else on earth, Scandinavians have the power to save these trees*. Click below to ask Nordea’s CEO, Christian Clausen, not to fund the forest destruction:

*It’s moments like this when our international Avaaz movement is at its best* — when we can take strategic action and have an immediate effect across the world.
Australians have been fighting hard against this pulp mill, raising hundreds of thousands of dollars to run an international advertising campaign targeting potential financial backers.
*Already, fifteen of the world’s leading banks, including all those in Australia, have ruled out financing this pulp mill*. Nordea is one of the only banks still thinking of getting involved in this socially, environmentally and economically destructive mill. In the current economic climate, it just doesn’t make sense.
*Let’s email Nordea, and ask them not to fund the Gunns Pulp Mill in Australia!*

Scandinavia has a proud history of environmentalism and social responsibility. Let’s not allow Nordea to undermine this international reputation by destroying the beautiful forests of Australia.
In hope,
Ricken, Ben, Sam, Iain, Alice, Milena, Paul, Luis, Alice and the whole Avaaz team.
