About Anyone is Qualified: Palm Oil
10
Palm oil, produced unsustainably, can destroy habitat for orangutans and other unique tropical creatures. Let's band together to see how we could change our habits:
-For 10 Simbi: For one day, look at the ingredients and record the product (and company) of any food** you eat (or buy) throughout the day that has palm oil (send me list for proof).
-For 20 Simbi: Same as above, but replace what you were going to eat (or buy) with a palm oil free alternative (or made sustainable palm oil) for the day. List alternative.
-For 40 Simbi: All of the above and look-up/research the palm oil sustainability of the companies of the products you listed. above.
-For 80 Simbi: In addition to the above, contact the palm oil company (screen shot the message preferably) addressing their ethics (or if you can't find environmental concerns attributed to the company, thank them).
