Write to (mailing or emailing) a company that uses palm oil in their products. Explain to them why palm oil is bad and ask them to stop using it! It could be as simple as saying: “Growing palm oil destroys the rainforest, please stop using it!” or you could write a detailed letter! If you have anything to add to…[Read more]-

Palm Oil Problems 4 years, 10 months agoHey everyone! I have a question about palm oil! Is there a substitute that companies can use in replacement for palm oil? If so, why don’t they? Is palm oil the cheaper option for companies?

Palm Oil Problems 4 years, 10 months agoPalm Oil Problems 2nd challenge! :
Cook/bake/make a homemade treat to replace store bought foods that have palm oil! For example Pop Tarts have palm oil so you could look up how to make homemade Pop Tarts, or if you wanted to do something more simple you could just make anything without palm oil and not copy a product from the store! If you do the…[Read more]-

We made our own ‘Reese’s’ Peanut Butter Bars recently! Many peanut butters contain palm oil (often labelled as vegetable oil) so we make our own peanut butter. We used palm oil free chocolate and it was delicious!
