After a three-month campaign by the environmental group Greenpeace, which led to Nestle being attacked on social networking sites such as Facebook and YouTube, Nestle, the world's biggest food manufacturer, says it will make the palm oil in its best-selling chocolate bars more eco-friendly.
The Swiss confectionery-to-coffee giant said it was inviting a non profit group to audit its supply chain and promised to cancel contracts with any firm found to be chopping down rainforests to produce the vegetable oil, which it uses in KitKat, Aero and Quality Street.
One million people watched Greenpeace's spoof advert for KitKat, despite its being taken off YouTube temporarily after a legal threat.
What is your opinion on this?

Let's be thankful that there are groups like the Greenpeace that dedicated their time to save earth and its inhabitants. The bad thing abut this is that there are a lot of manufacturer there that still use unfriendly materials that are dangerous to both human and their environment.
