AVOID UNSUSTAINABLE PALM OIL
JOIN THE “AVOID UNSUSTAINABLE PALM OIL” CHALLENGE AND BE PART OF THE SOLUTION:
Palm oil is the world’s most popular vegetable oil. It has been linked to many environmental, animal, and human rights violations, yet we find this oil in everything from biodiesel to laundry detergent, snacks, and lipstick.
For example, in Europe half of the imported palm oil ends up in the fuel tanks of cars and trucks. This basically means that we burn the richest rainforests in the world to drive our cars.
A Sustainable Palm Oil label promised to source all palm oil from certified, sustainable sources over the next few years; let’s try to buy products that have this label.
HOW TO SUCCEED IN THIS CHALLENGE
1. Check the labels
Make sure that you are not contributing to these injustices with the products you buy and avoid buying unsustainable palm oil.2. Get educated on your local tap water.

3. Make your own palm oil-free products
