Rainforest Action recently received an email from an anti-logging agent busy in the field. This was his report:
Kwila & TradeMe
Heaps of people are trading and dealing with kwila on trade me. In a search for a few random items on trade me the other day, the word ‘kwila’ flashed onto the screen. So I decided to press on this item and ask the seller a question or two. What resulted was a discussion on their trade me advertisement. Not the best look for them and the sale of their product. So it was fun and I thought I would share my Friday nights entertainment with ya. If we can all bombard kwila sellers on trade me, we could have a major impact. Just type in kwila and hundreds come up. www.trademe.co.nz
How to do it (The fun bit)
1. Go to trade me www.trademe.co.nz
2. Type in the search box ‘kwila’
3. Click on item you would like to question.
4. Click on ‘ask seller question’
5. Copy some of the text below or write your own into the question box.
6. Job done.
Here are a few messages I wrote.
• Is it still legal to sell timber from the rainforests of the tropics?
• I still can’t comprehend how you could be supporting the chopping down of ancient trees from other nations forest, to be used for our outdoor furniture.
Enjoy,
James
