give the rainforest a break

http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/

Palm Oil is a Major destructor of Land and rainforest's throughout the world. This crop is majorly exported throughout the world as means of a cheap vegetable oil, unfortunately cheap usually means something suffers. The Orangatang is just one of the species at risk and is loosing its home and habitat quite rapidly in Indonesia. Greenpeace have recently launched a campaign to Nestle- one of the biggest chocolate companies in the world, to stop benefiting out of the Rain forest for Palm Oil- Once they are gone the are gone!! Not only is this negative for the diversity of the planet but its also speeding up climate change, as often they are planted in Peat bog land- which then releases harmful gasses into the atmosphere.

If you are going to do one thing today send an email to Nestle. The website to Greenpeace is above. the email template is already on the website, you only have to fill in a few details, thanks, Luke
