How Can you Help? Palm oil is one of the main reasons why rainforests are cut down. Palm oil plantations reside in tropical forests and the demand for it is rising rapidly. Palm oil can be found in many things such as lip balm, shampoo, detergent, and some food products. Check the label of the things you buy and make sure they are palm oil free.
Making donations to organizations such as the Arbor Day Foundation or getting a membership can help too. With these organizations you can even get trees to plant in your area. Here is a link to the Arbor Day Website: http://www.arborday. Planting trees in your community can help raise awareness and also help beautify your community. |
