S02E04: Elena Polisano: Deforestation in the Amazon & Greenpeace's Monster

Today we’re joined by forests campaigner at Greenpeace, Elena Polisano to discuss Deforestation in the Amazon and their new campaign Monster.With her job as a forest campaigner, Elena calls on the UK’s biggest food retailers to stop buying industrially produced meat and dairy from companies linked to destruction of the Amazon rainforest, and to reduce meat sales by half by 2025. Her recent work includes confronting Tesco bosses with a personal appeal from the heart of the Amazon from Brazilian Indigenous leader Sonia Guajajara. Elena previously led the campaign calling on UK supermarkets to reduce their plastic footprint and has been at the forefront of Greenpeace’s creative interventions aimed at some of the world’s biggest companies including Coca-Cola and Shell. Prior to Greenpeace, Elena was an advertising creative. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
