Please Guys, Help Save Our Orangutans.

[dallas]

:cry: This is heartbreaking. Please guys, sign the "Don't Palm Us Off" petition to help save the Orangutans habitat. It is being destroyed due to the cultivation of palm oil and we are losing 1,000 of these beautiful creatures per year.
The video at the bottom of the page brought me to tears.

I signed too! Thanks for making us aware Dallas. It's such a sad story. I'm very curious to know what foods have palm oil...

Thank you for bringing attention to this terrible tragedy about to happen, dallas. Read and signed. I hope they don't ignore the non-Australian names.

it is also very important to see the things that you eat and use. palm oil is in everything from beauty products to junk food. It is big industries where a lot of people make a lot of money out of, thus it is a bit harder to fight. please check if the products you buy comes from sustainable palm oil. Although the definition of "sustainable" is a little shady, it is still much better than the non regulated palm oil. Please keep family and friends informed about this.
I have given up palm oil for almost a year now and have been trying to spread the words to people I know. Some think I am crazy, some get more informed.
thanks for the post Dallas.

I don't think I could handle watching the video, but I did sign the petition.

Thanks so much for signing guys.

These products really need to be labeled accurately instead of being listed as say, "vegetable oil". I want to know what I'm buying, cos I sure as heck don't want to be supporting this industry.

I don't either. But I want to support Canada's Girl Guides.



Maybe next time I could give them money and not take the box of cookies?
