PALM OIL. Is It Worth It?

These rain forests our entire eco system depends on are being destroyed, for our love and addiction to products. Yeah chocolate is really good. We also need soap. And also many other products are great. And also things we do need. However our need for a proper eco system is a more vital need. Also Bengal tigers, Orangutans, and many other species that we rely on are being devastated. All for the love of palm oil. This product is something we can do without. Or at the least a eco friendly approved oil. Yeah its a good product but is it worth the cost? Absolutely not!

Conclusion:

Please shop responsibly. Buy "Palm oil sustainability approved". Yes it may be a few cents more. Very little cost compared to the cost of not buying sustainability approved. Is it worth it? A little bit of change or entire forests and species wiped out? Make the right choice.
