Health & Labelling “Palm Oil” is not labelled on ingredients lists Palm Oil is high in saturated fat Eating saturated is linked to heart disease

How Come These Bad Things Happen? Demand for Palm Oil from developed countries Lack of environmental regulation Laws and regulations not enforced Bribery and corruption Lack of opportunities for economic development

Solutions Only grow palm oil on already cleared land Ensure land owners are asked before starting Pay government and land owners to protect their land and not cut down the forest Independent sustainable palm oil certification system – Palm Oil Police Labelling of products Provide alternative economic and social development opportunities

Greenpeace Take on Dove

Where do we Start? Immediate stop to all deforestation Community education & labelling Sign the petition Write letters to supermarkets, food manufacturers and politicians Tell your friends and family Make sure Palm Oil is not used to make biofuels We need to talk to traditional land owner and small farmers. What are their needs and wants?
