  Reduce Consumption of Palm Oil

Submitted By:   mfurdyk
Committers:  222
Date Created:  2010-10-26
Description:   Help to protect forests by ensuring that products you buy don't contain Palm Oil! From Wikipedia: Palm oil production has been documented as a cause of substantial and often irreversible damage to the natural environment. Its impacts include: deforestation, habitat loss of critically endangered species such as the Orangutan and Sumatran Tiger, and a significant increase in greenhouse gas emissions. The pollution is exacerbated because many rainforests in Indonesia and Malaysia lie atop peat bogs that store great quantities of carbon that are released when the forests are cut down and the bogs drained to make way for plantations.
