Palm oil and the chemicals industry (not all at once, though.)

Bayer launched their group-wide climate programme yesterday. It has, in fact, already begun working on the first lighthouse projects: a global concept for zero-emission buildings for offices and other industrial buildings known as the “EcoCommercial Building”, the development of stress-tolerant plants and systems to encourage the effective use of crops for biofuels, and the "Bayer Climate Check" for optimizing production processes. Bayer will also invest EUR 1 billion in climate-related research and development and other projects in the next three years. Find out more here.

Sainsbury's have finally taken the plunge and banned palm oil - I give the fellow supermarkets a week before they dive after them in a lemming-like fashion (though hopefully with a more pleasant end, for the orangutans anyway.)
