BANK OF AMERICA IS BACKING DESTRUCTION OF THE RAINFOREST
The #Amazon rainforest is at a critical tipping point — and the world's largest butcher, #JBS, is pushing the world's largest rainforest over the edge, and setting up a global #catastrophe.
In fact, right now, JBS is being sued for lying to consumers about their #EnvironmentalImpact, #ClimateGoals, and their pseudo-plan to achieve net zero carbon #emissions by 2040 —
all to boost #sales and ramp up the very damage they claim to be addressing. If they're found liable, they could face fines and be required to repay the profits they've made off of their deceptive sustainability claims.
So who would actually invest in a rainforest-destroying company like this? The answer is #BankOfAmerica — and what's even worse is that they're using YOUR bank #deposits to directly fund the destruction of the Amazon.
You may not have heard of #JBSFoods before, a Brazilian beef producer that's made a name for itself as one of the most destructive, rights-abusing, politically-corrupt #corporations in the world.
JBS has been linked to 1.7 million hectares of rainforest destruction in the #Amazon — an area 1.5 times the size of Hawaii's Big Island —
The majority #shareholders of JBS even pled guilty to foreign #bribery charges in the U.S. in 2020. And this summer, it was the subject of a Senate hearing on Amazon deforestation, in which Senators discussed JBS' practice of — get this — cattle #laundering, or concealing a cow's origin to cover up its connections to #deforestation and #RightsAbuses.
The truth is, for Bank of America, it's not about the existential threat that JBS poses to the Amazon — and all of life on earth — it's all about the #money.
