You can help. How? Stop buying foods with palm oil in them.
The only orang-utans now left in the world live in Borneo and Sumatra, where the lowland peat forests that sustain them are being rapidly destroyed in a race between Malaysia and Indonesia to become the world's biggest supplier of palm oil.
It doesn’t take that much time to read the label of ingredients on a food.
I regularly buy Smart Balance margarine, which touts its heart-healthy combination of various plant oils. But, one of them is palm oil, so it will have to go off my food list.
