URGENT PETITION !! Drop DOW Chemical as partners of the Olympic Gamesand providers of London Olympic stadium wrap- Endorse this petition

From: Dharmesh Shah <deshah@gmail.com>


Dear All,

Dow Chemical acquired Union Carbide as a wholly owned subsidiary in 2001. They are therefore responsible for the clean up of the former Union Carbide Factory site in Bhopal, India. The area around the factory is densely populated and continues to be heavily contaminated by chemicals and toxins produced by the factory which Dow, despite their evident responsibility, have thus far refused to clean up.

The situation in Bhopal is a humanitarian and environmental catastrophe that continues to affect tens of thousands of people today.

The organisers of the Olympic Games claim that they are commited to organising a sustainable and environmentally friendly event. It is therefore completely unacceptable for Dow Chemical to be partnered with the London Olympic Games, and the wider International Olympic Organisation.

Pls click on the link and start signing the petition and forward it all your friends and put it out on social media networks as well.
