Greenpeace activists 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. One group of activists also climbed the anchor chain of a tanker transporting palm oil and are preventing it from moving, according to the group. Greenpeace has accused Singapore-listed Wilmar of still being linked to deforestation in Indonesia -- the world's biggest palm oil exporter -- despite committing five years ago to stop logging the archipelago's vast tracts of jungle.
