Do you know what's lurking in your Easter egg?

As Easter approaches Nestlé, one of the world's most eminent chocolate makers is on the ropes.

So with Easter round the corner we have produced an animated Easter card for you to send to everyone you know. If everyone who receives this email wishes 10 friends a happy Easter another million people will discover that Nestlé is destroying rainforests and orang-utan habitats for the palm oil that goes into its Easter treats.

You can either forward this email yourself, or click here to enter your friends' emails and send only the card.

Thanks to your efforts (and public outrage) the Easter bunnies will be steering well clear of Nestle HQ this year. The numbers tell it all - almost a million people have now watched our gory Kit Kat advert, over 125,000 people around the world have written to Nestlé demanding change, and thousands have called the company directly.

The media is buzzing, Facebook is fizzing and the wave of opposition is rising above Nestlé. To say that this must continue is an understatement and we need your help to bring your friends and family into the campaign.

Hasta la EASTER Nestlé, it's time to give the orangutan a break!

Nestlé UK does not buy palm oil from the Sinar Mas Group (they buy from another company who does)

Dear Mr Williams

Thank you very much for your call to our careline.

We can assure you that Nestlé UK does not buy palm oil from the Sinar Mas Group for any of our products, including Kit Kat. We do purchase palm oil from Cargill and we have sought assurances from them about their supply chain. Cargill has informed us that Sinar Mas needs to answer Greenpeace’s allegations by the end of April. They have indicated that they will delist Sinar Mas if they do not take corrective action by then.

Nestlé recently undertook a detailed review of its supply chain to establish the source of its palm oil supplies and we have made a commitment to using only "Certified Sustainable Palm Oil" by 2015, when sufficient quantities should be available. As an important step on that journey, a number of Nestlé markets, including Nestlé UK, have already purchased Green Palm certificates, the certificate trading programme designed to help suppliers tackle the environmental and social problems created by the production of palm oil.

Thank you again for taking the trouble to contact us. We are grateful for the interest you have shown in our company.

Yours sincerely
