Santas for Sainsburys protest and email action alert
Narwal STS | 18.12.2004 13:01 | Bio-technology | Globalisation
Give the environment a present this Christmas – Santas for Sainsburys action called for in a store near you. Plus loads of people who need to hear your concerns.
This is the company that seems determined to pollute the countryside in the face of huge opposition by continuing to feed its dairy cattle genetically modified soya. Sainsburys has the power to end the importing of this feed and thus help keep Britain free of this tainted crops. Yet, as can only be expected they would rather put profit before preserving the environment. Hardly surprising when major shareholder, Lord Sainsbury himself, is the Science Minister and has one of the biggest private investments in biotechnology in the country.
Nevertheless, their greenwashing does not fool us. Sainsburys can be made to see the light if enough people act to put pressure on the company to reverse its GM feed for its dairy cattle to one that is more environmentally sound.
We need you get out and given Sainsburys protest presents to encourage some good will this year. How about a supermarket action such as filing trolleys or standing next to dairy aisles and explain loudly why it contains dodgy chemicals? We are calling on people to dress up as Santa, get a bell and ring it loudly on the streets and aisles so everyone is made aware of the messages.
What is required is for people to get out there and do something positive this Christmas. Even if you are a vegan and against drinking milk from what is essentially factory farming for cattle (as these Santa’s are), then you can still join in and use the fact that the milk is tainted to point out non-dairy alternatives. Why not even hand out free samples of soya milk outside the shop.
Failing all that, you can pop down to your nearest phone, or even stay at your computer and pass on a message of good tidying and wishing a GM free new year by contacting the following staff at Sainsburys – nice and politely.
Below are the emails for the top people at Sainburys. If you contacted them following the last action alert, don’t hesitate to contact them against and ask how Sainsbury’s is progressing on eliminating GM feed being used to feed their dairy hard. If you haven’t already contacted them, then it is time to express your opposition.
We have also included details for other middle management who may not be fully aware of the issues involved in Sainsbury’s use of GM food – please feel free to enlighten them.
Have fun!

Okay, that’s the top people again. Sainsburys has many other employees who may not be aware of their company’s unethical and downright unenvironmentally friendly policies. Please send them polite messages informing them about why people are campaigning against their employer.
