Orangutans and palm oil

[Catherine]

I had to get reading glasses so that I could shop, now I have trifocal glasses so I can see to get to the grocery store in the first place.

Shopping ecofriendly is a challenge. It adds to the difficulties of finding vegan food. Boycotting palm oil is a big one. It is hard to do. They sneak it into so many foods. It may be plant based, but many orangutans died or were orphaned for every harvest in a palm oil plantation.

I will see if I can find a list of good suppliers vs. bad suppliers. I think the zoo has a list in there rainforest display.

Actually there is a list of good things on this site.

This site lists things to avoid.

If we all speak with our shopping lists we can bring about change. I just hope it is not too late. For some orangutans it already is.
