This catastrophy has been allowed to go on for far too long. Some countries such as Borneo and Malaysia have been sacrificing nature for money. Orang Utans for example are being killed off as their habitat is cleared to make way for palm tree plantations. Endangered animals other than the Orang Utans are also being killed off just for the sake palm oil.


Pictures Speak a Thousand Words
The time for action is NOW!! Never underestimate the power of public pressure. Today as we face supermarkets full of products with so many chemicals and unethically derived material, we can still make a difference by choosing our products wisely and allow our conscience to be clear. We now have a few organisations who have compiled a list of palm oil free products. Please don't ignore the plight of these innocent victims. As human beings, we have the power to reason and choose between right and wrong. NOW is the time to act and do the right thing!
