Greenpeace podcast: The problem with palm oil in Indonesia

Posted by jamie — 23 June 2008 at 4:33pm - Comments

In this edition, we about the Indonesian end of our palm oil campaign from Hapsoro, one of our campaigners in Jakarta, and why getting Unilever on our side is a good start but not the whole answer. We also take a trip to the wilds of Middlesex where opposition to Heathrow's third runway is turned into a celebration with bands, costumes and performers to send a resounding 'No' to the government. And we hear from Bruce Nilles of the Sierra Club in the US about how potential changes on the political scene could nip the resurgance of coal in the bud.

If we got on Resonance that would be brilliant - do let me know if you have any luck.

We certainly don't mind constructive criticism either. Unfortunately, my voice isn't as clear and resonant as others but I'll work on it (remembering to sip water frequently helps!) and if I do the links again, I'll watch the pacing.

As for presumed knowledge, it's a tricky one. So we can explore issues a little bit deeper, we're assuming that listeners have some knowledge of what we're talking about, but obviously if the podcast is going to go wider (like on Resonance) then we'll need to be more careful with some references. Were there any things in particular in this edition that you thought were too obscure?
