I've been a palm oil protester and boycotter a couple of years now and I've seen a turn to the worse during this time, which makes me furious. I do hope someone would start a global petition against its use. In fact, I hoped there would be one on Avaaz and indeed there is and I signed it immediately! But it's shocking there aren't more than a few thousand signatures yet. We must spread the word loudly! https://secure.avaaz.org/en/petition/Global_leaders_attending_Paris_COP21_STOP_PUTTING_PALM_OIL_ON_OUR_PRODUCTS/?aemoDlbTeresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06299152873788609754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-75458932313392863672018-01-07T10:42:14.812+00:002018-01-07T10:42:14.812+00:00I am pleased that she has made me so much more awa...I am pleased that she has made me so much more aware of its insidious spread in our shopping trolleys.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-56213168747705466132018-01-06T22:33:40.314+00:002018-01-06T22:33:40.314+00:00Well done to your granddaughter - and you - for ra...Well done to your granddaughter - and you - for raising awareness of the palm oil issue.Share my Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817611851604816123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-24783239898915523362018-01-06T15:08:45.392+00:002018-01-06T15:08:45.392+00:00♡♡Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814070177137076757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7046286238110595318.post-41181247141079014852018-01-05T23:18:57.159+00:002018-01-05T23:18:57.159+00:00So glad that your post got positive feedback; I...So glad that your post got positive feedback; I'll be writing more emails to companies questioning their use of palm oil.

Thank you for making us aware about palm oil, it's amazing how many products it can be found in. Having a quick look on the internet there doesn't seem to be a comprehensive list anywhere of what items are palm free. I'm glad I make my own bread and museli, hopefully the plastic free items I will be buying in future will also be palm oil free. Wishing you and your family a Happy New Year!

Your granddaughter R is being thoughtful about the environment. It's good to know that the young people care and we can learn from them. I do look at labels mostly to see what is contained in products that might be detrimental to my well being. Thank you for explaining about how large scale palm oil production destroys vegetation, animal habitats and the lives of farmers with smallholdings.
