January 1994 - Earth First! Campaign to prevent sale selling mahogany goods succeeds
After a Manchester Earth First campaign using the tactic of “ethical shoplifts”, Texas Homecare announces that it wills top selling mahogany goods as of 1st December 1994. “Ethical shoplifting” involves taking mahogany items from shops and handing them over to the police on the grounds that they’ve been stolen from the indigenous communities in the forests where the mahogany grows.
