Be careful on what you are eating!The manufacturers of these products - Nestlé, Procter & Gamble, and Unilever - are sourcing their palm oil from suppliers who aren't picky about where they site their plantations. As the volunteers at the Forest Defenders Camp of Greenpeace in Sumatra have seen, this includes tearing up areas of pristine forest then draining and burning the peatlands.
What's to be done? The Indonesian government should urgently introduce a moratorium on forest and peatland destruction, which will provide a chance to develop long-term solutions and prevent further emissions from deforestation. But, before, you should stop to buy those products that use palm oil!
You can...remember that there is more power in a fork than in any sceptre of king!
