Here are some ideas for how you and your friends can help
us save the kangaroos!
1. Write to David Beckham and tell him you’ve really
gone off him since you found out he wears kangaroo skin boots.
Ask him to wear synthetic ones, like Ronaldo, instead. Get
all your class mates to sign the letter so he knows his popularity
really is going down the drain!
You can contact him care of his manager:
David Beckham
c/o 19 Management
Unit 32
Ransomes Dock
35-37 Parkgate Road
London
SW11 4NP
If you’re feeling brave, you could email them reception@19.co.uk
2. Do a talk or a presentation to your class or in school
assembly - we can provide you with all the materials you’ll
need.
3. Order campaign materials so you can put up posters at
school and get signatures on petitions.
4. If you are in a school football team ask them to pledge
not to wear any Adidas stuff until they stop slaughtering
kangaroos. Then get your team to send a letter to Adidas explaining
why you’re not going to wear their gear any more.
You can write to Adidas at this address:
Gil Steyaert
Managing Director
Adidas UK Ltd
Pepper Road
Hazel Grove
Stockport
Cheshire SK7 5SD
or call them on 0161 419 2500....... but, you guessed it,
you gotta be polite!
Fax them on 0161 930 2384..... or email gil.steyaert@adidas.co.uk
5. Write a letter to your favourite magazine or your local
newspaper letting people know about the cruelty Adidas is
involved in and asking them to help us by writing an article
about kangaroo skin products. Tell them they can contact Viva!
for more info.
6. Collect old Adidas stuff and send it to us - we have
lots of ‘stunts’ up our sleeves and we need all
those smelly old Adidas socks, stinky trainers and tatty old
sweatshirts!
7. Order some of our "Boycott Adidas" stickers
to help publicise the campaign
8. Help us raise money so we can carry on with our work to
save the ‘roos. There are many ways you can do this
- a sponsored event; earn brownie points with your parents
by doing some of the housework or ask if you can have a ‘no-uniform’
day at school and donate the proceeds to Viva!
9. Become a Viva! youth activist! Phone, fax or email us
for more info.
10. Most importantly - tell everyone about Adidas and the
other companies who make football boots out of kangaroo skin.
Help spread the message far and wide!
