Look Out for Palm

Every year when we come to London we spend some of our time learning about Palm Oil.  Palm oil is a vegetable oil used in roughly 50% of products in the supermarket.  But in order to grow Palm trees to get palm oil, large companies cut and burn down rainforest to make room to plant palm farms.

We found a really powerful add that shows the impact on just one animal.  

If you want to help these animals the  main thing you can do is check the ingredients in the products you buy at the supermarket for palm oil and only buy products with either no palm oil or sustainable palm oil.  Palm oil is in food, soaps and other products.  The difficult thing is that some companies 'hide' the palm oil by giving it different names.

Here is a link to some of the names: Alternative names for Palm Oil
