***CLIMATE CHANGE CHAMPIONS – 4TH CHALLENGE***
Plant a tree in your yard! (Or anywhere that you have permission to plant a tree!) Trees help fight climate change by removing CO2 or carbon dioxide from the air and carbon dioxide is a big part of global warming! You could order a tree online, plant one from a seed, (You know the little “helicopter”…[Read more]

Yes, palm oil is cheaper than other oils. Some companies use sustainable palm oil that supposedly isn’t grown in a place where rainforests were cut down, but often the “sustainable” palm oil actually has some sustainable palm oil and some palm oil that isn’t sustainable. RSPO is one label that is the partly sustainable palm oil. CSPO is a more…[Read more]
Thank you so much,Olivia! This was very helpful 🙂
Of course!!
A similar oil would be coconut oil. However, palm oil is actually a pretty worthwhile and high-yield plant. That means it can produce a lot without needing much care, space or nutrient-rich soil.
