I’ve been growing a moustache with my co-worker, Stephen, since the beginning of the month to raise awareness for prostate cancer (it runs in my family). If you are interested in donating, please visit my Movember page.

At the start of Movember guys register with a clean shaven face. The Movember participants, known as Mo Bros, have the remainder of the month to grow and groom their moustache, raising money and awareness along the way.

If you’re also participating, please let me know. I’ll donate to yours if you donate to mine.

I really want to make a post about this, but everything I start writing just turns into an awful and pretentious discussion on “art”. So check it out, see if you can figure out why it got an A+, and why I put quotation marks around “art” (it’s really ridiculous).

Unilever, the company behind products like Dove soap, is driving forest destruction and speeding up climate change by buying palm oil from companies which are destroying Indonesia’s rainforests to make way for palm oil plantations. By their own admission, Unilever is the biggest single user of palm oil in the world.

Unilever pretends to be an environmentally responsible company, but what it is actually responsible for is destroying areas of rainforest, driving species extinction and speeding up global warming. Being one of the biggest users of palm oil on the planet, Unilever must stop buying palm oil from these companies and call for a halt on the destruction of Indonesian forests to grow palm oil.

No. Greenpeace is not calling for a boycott. We are asking Unilever to act responsibly and to ensure that their products have not been produced at the expense of Indonesian rainforests and the climate. That means that their suppliers are not involved in the continued destruction of these rainforests.

I made a big error in trying to upgrade my Wordpress install so things are going to take a while…

Update: It’s back; hooray! Piece of advice: use Wordpress’ built-in export options for backing up your database, not regular SQL dumps.

It’s going to take a bit of time to get the aesthetics and customized parts back…
