Okay, I’m gonna get straight to the point. I hate reading the words “palm oil” on packaging at the grocery store. If you buy a product made with palm oil, you could have encouraged and supported an orangutans death.

Between 2000 and 2012, Indonesia had lost 15 million acres of rain forest mainly from palm oil deforestation. Large sections are being burned out for palm oil plantations. We have talked about how ecosystems work. No trees for the Orangutans means no food, no shelter, and most of all, no hope. There is such a thing as sustainable palm oil but I have found it is so much easier to buy products without palm oil period.

What can you do? The bigger question is what you should not do.That means do not support deforestation. You should support organizations that helps restore our rain forests.

One person may only save one tree but together, we make an impact. We save rain forests together. We stand hand in hand. We fight together. We will save together. We work, you know the word, together. Together we will save the rain forests. Together.
