Together, just 10 companies, Associated British Foods (ABF), Coca Cola, Danone, General Mills, Kellogg’s, Mars, Mondelez, Nestlé, PepsiCo and Unilever, produce an amazing 264 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions every year. If the “Big 10” were a country, it would be the 25th biggest polluter on the planet, spewing more emissions than Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Norway combined. The emissions these companies cause are contributing to a growing humanitarian catastrophe. More frequent and extreme storms, floods, droughts and shifting weather patterns are affecting food supplies, driving up food prices and causing more hunger and poverty. And that’s why Oxfam staff and supporters visited Kellogg’s offices around Australia to tell them to stop climate change making people hungry. What you can do? Visit Special Ks Facebook page and copy this message, then post to their wall: Hey Kellogg, I was shocked to find out that you’re feeding/driving climate change. It’s making farmers around the world hungry and homeless. Please cut your emissions now!
