Greenpeace activists on Tuesday scaled storage tanks at an Indonesian palm oil refinery along with a popular rock band which played pro-environment songs, protesting against a commodity found in everything from soap to biscuits. The green group said 30 activists and Indonesian metal group Boomerang had been “occupying” the site on Sulawesi island to draw attention to widespread environmental destruction caused by clearing forest for palmoil plantations. They painted “Dirty” in large letters and dropped a banner that read “Drop Dirty Palm Oil Now” on silos owned by Wilmar International, the world’s biggest palm oil trader which supplies to Colgate, Nestle and Unilever, Greenpeace said.
