Orangutan fights bulldozer to save his home

[Catherine]

It is a heartbreaking image that you will never forget seeing. An orangutan with his bare hands tries to fight a bulldozer that is destroying his forest home.
And why is the bulldozer doing this? So they can build another palm oil plantation.

So every time we eat something made with palm oil we should see in our minds the desperate actions of that orangutan.
We are destroying his home so we can have a cheap source of oil even though there are  many other sources of oil we can use that don't destroy habitats. 

I grew up on the prairies and we had corn oil, canola oil and sunflower seed oil. We didn't need to bring in oils from the other side of the world at the cost of orangutan lives.  Most of us don't need to use palm oil. There are many sustainable oil sources that can be produced locally. 

We can sign the petition and we can check our foods to make sure they are not made with palm oil. We can boycott companies that are involved in the palm oil industry. If all of us who care do what we can it will have an impact.
