I just took 90 seconds out of my day to watch a video called Rang-tan that tells the story of how the forest homes of orangutans are being cleared to grow palm oil.
I think you should watch it too, here’s the link.
It’s bizarre to think that palm oil is in over half the products on our supermarket shelves. The more people that watch Rang-tan the more people we can get to put pressure on brands like Nestle, Unilever and Mondelez to make sure the palm oil used to make their chocolates and soaps aren’t coming at the highest price for the world’s forests and the orangutans that live there.
Here’s that link to Rang-tan again, an animation about a little girl and her orangutan friend: www.greenpeace.org.uk
