Global 24 hours of action for Australia's forests. Join us on 8 Oct 2011 and say No Harvey No!

Submitted by thelaststand on Thu, 15/09/2011 - 4:35pm

On Saturday 8 October in Australia (which might be your 7th or 8th Oct depending on timezone) join us to stand up for our forests at Harvey Norman stores and other locations across Australia and the planet and say

No Harvey Norman No! Stop selling Aussie forest destruction!

Australia's world-class forests are still being ripped apart by industrial logging operations every single day. The destruction of our native forests is placing our threatened species, clean air and water, and climate in serious danger.
