YOU can help defend what's left of the Amazon Rainforest...before there's nothing left; will you?
Global demand for beef is the leading driver of deforestation in the Amazon. By changing that demand for just one week, the world can send a message that burgers should not come at a cost in biodiversity, pristine jungle, and the lungs of the world. Please add your voice to the global chorus and take the #NoBeefWeek challenge. Thank you!
