During the early hours of Thursday morning Greenpeace activists flyposted Mcdonalds outfits across several cities in the uk (London, Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, Bristol and Southampton) with posters depicting ronald mcdonald in forest trashing gear, with speach bubbles saying 'trashing the amazon for fast food'. (43 stores were done in Manchester).
Then when the stores opened some activists dressed as chickens locked on inside the stores while others leafleted the public and got them to sign petitions.
