... and so thought I'd play the send fake emails to companies in the hope of a response game.
I sent this...
Dear Mr Herbal Essences,
I am writing to express concern about one of your products - The Herbal Essences Rainforest Flowers range. I'm sure you are aware of the current crisis involving the deforestation of the worlds rainforests. A problem which causes the ruins the habitat and thus causes extinction of a great many species of creatures and plants.
Whilst I can't argue with the smooth shine it left my hair with, I find it greatly disturbing that you openly support and are part of such a man caused ecological disaster with your Rainforest Flowers range of shampoos and conditioners. I request that you reconsider this particular product and hope you consider the global implications of business practices in the future.
Thank you,
A concerned consumer.
... to proctor and gamble. I hope they email back saying doesn't actually contain rainforest flowers. That's like false advertisement or something.

Don't stop there Ben. You have to go on a pointless crusade of wasting peoples time. You should write to the FA and officially retire from International football.  |

Gay I just got a standard response thing. Hello and thanks for your email. Procter & Gamble is committed to ensuring that our products, packaging and operations are safe for consumers and the environment. For products that go out with your rubbish collection, our approach is to reduce, reuse, recycle, compost or incinerate (with energy recovered) waste prior to landfilling, where it's environmentally and economically appropriate. We're continually researching alternatives for more environmentally improved products and packaging. For more information about what P&G is doing to achieve this, please visit http://www.pg.com/company/our_commitment/sustainability.jhtmlKind regards, Deborah Consumer Relations meh |

You need to reply to that FB. How the hell does that address your concerns about the rainforest. Surely you need a firm commitment from Proctor and Gamble that they are going to act as a socially responsible company from now on.
What rainforests are these flowers taken from? Who picks these flowers? Is this back breaking work being carried out by 5 year old peruvian orphans for 20 pence a week?
Surely you are shocked and surprised by a company such as Proctor and Gamble acting in this way. Mail Chris Martin from Coldplay about it he'll sort the fuckers out!!

My friend suggested this for a response;
The advert is also a health risk as its advertised with a naked woman standing in a lavender field and surely she would get stung by bees as bees love lavender? Surely the smell of the product may also attract bees, proving a risk to the consumer.

Make sure it's an angry reply, this is the kind of thing socially repsonsible people get pretty fucking angry about.
