Does the wanton destruction of the Indonesian and Sumatran rainforests devastate you? Do you wish you could save the Orangutans?
If your answer is yes then the Palm Oil Action Group needs you! After a successful campaign in in 2009 against Woolworths and KFC we are targeting some of the other Big Offenders in Australia and inviting people to 'Stick It To Them' - literally.
We have some wonderful stickers (see below) for people to take into supermarkets and plaster all over products that contain palm oil. We want to send a message back to these companies that palm oil in food is really not OK - it's bad for the planet and it's bad for us.
Check out the very first Stick It action that we took....
Get your stickers today. Contact our campaign coordinator, Anasuya Claff, on 0431 779 644 or anasuya@palmoilaction.org.au for more information.
DID YOU KNOW?
Palm oil costs the lives of ~ 50 endangered orangutans every week....IT’S UP TO US TO SAVE THEM FROM EXTINCTION!
In South East Asia alone, the equivalent of 300 soccer fields are deforested every hourfor palm oil plantations.
It has recently been calculated that 15% of all global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels come from rainforest destruction.
Australians unknowingly consume an average of 10kg of Palm Oil per person each year – bring on informed decisions!
Consumer pressure has already had a dramatic impact on the European market – proof that we can make a difference.
Sustainable Palm Oil Plantations are an achievable reality - but only if we make them so – and consumer action is urgently needed.
