All the online actions from the WDM website

Global food prices are soaring, pushing many more of the world's poorest people into hunger.

Financial speculators are rushing to cash-in on rising prices. Experts predict that betting on the cost of food will push prices through the roof, as it did in 2008 and 2011.

This action has now ended - hundreds of people uploaded photos which we will be presenting to George Osborne before a crucial vote in the Europe on new laws to regulate food speculation.

You can see all the photos that were uploaded here.

Please email George Osborne and ask him to support strong new laws to regulate food speculation.

Thanks for sending an email to Lord Turner, chairman of the Financial Services Authority. Your email will help remind the FSA that it needs to act in the interest of the public on the issue of food speculation. 

One more thing…

We want the FSA to really feel the impact of public pressure, so would you be able to follow up your email with a phone call?

The phone number is 020 7066 1000.

The idea behind this is that if the carbon stored in forests is valued and quantified, forests will be seen as more valuable standing than they would be cut down. Companies will have to earn the right to cut down trees or emit carbon either by planting new trees somewhere else (plantation) or by instituting better forest management in order to cut down on logging.
