Activists use new timber protest toolFriday 20 Apr 2012 Environmental activists are targeting retail giant Harvey Norman with phoney store tags on furniture items to trick customers into watching anti-logging messages reports the Mercury this week. The "Aussie Furniture Blitz" tags urge customers to scan a barcode-like panel, called a QR code, with their smartphones "to find out how you can win".Once the tag is scanned, customers are directed to a YouTube video, which claims furniture from Harvey Norman stores is built using timber from high conservation value forests in Tasmania, New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia. Environmental group Last Stand is behind the campaign. Source: themecury.com.au |
