Orangutans vs. Palm Oil
"You might be shocked to learn that you are playing an unwitting part in the continuing destruction of the tropical rainforest and the creatures who dwell there. Not just by purchasing timber and paper products, but through everyday items lurking in your shopping. Chocolate, crisps, detergents, toothpastes and shampoo may contain palm oil. Today, almost all palm oil is produced in and exported from Indonesia and Malaysia; unfortunately the majority of the time this is done through highly unsustainable measures. Vast areas of pristine rainforest are slashed and burned each year in order to make way for oil palm plantations. Many orangutans and other wildlife are cruelly killed, injured and displaced in the process, all so this one vegetable oil can be used unnecessarily in our foods and cleaning products. Large-scale deforestation is pushing orangutans to extinction, along with many other vital native species of Borneo and Sumatra." - Ad, Drawing Boards
