An unlikely team of Greenpeace activists and McDonald's executives took a boat up the Amazon to see the destruction of rainforest partly driven by McDonald's demand for soybeans (Washington Post)
Surprising really, considering Greenpeace have regularly campaigned against the fastfood company

And Mcdonalds attempted to stop Greenpeace campaigners using the courts:

Hey,
I've done that river boat trip in the amazon and since it's full of piranhas I believe they all had second intentions... (those little devils can devour a whole cow in under 30minutes) so if someone "accidentally" droped into the water and the others "unintentionally" couldnt help them... oh well...
Mcdonalds and Micro$oft are going to continue exploiting their opportunity to make profit, because that's just the way life is! Exploiters and Exploitees!
Can we pick a side?
Cheers,
