hj deenomyte I didn't realize pygmy elephants and Borneo elephants were the same animal. I've heard of pygmy elephants before and how they are so small and they are friendly. Why do people have to cause so much trouble for animals?

That's not a solution. Boycotting palm oil won't save wildlife or their habitats, and here's why: In consumers boycotted palm oil, companies will switch to alternative oils that may use up as much as nine times the amount of land needed. Meanwhile, palm oil growers would have less incentive to produce sustainable palm oil. Additionally, the U.S. only uses a mere fraction of all the palm oil produced in the world. The vast majority is used as cooking oil in China and Southeast Asia. A boycott in the U.S. would have no real impact on the global use. It's not about what it is, but rather where it came from and how it was harvested.

Still, if you do still want to help. There is a free palm oil phone app that a zoo created that you can use to make sure what you are buying doesn't contain palm oil.

Again, boycotting palm oil is *not* a solution. Read my reply above before you choose to give in to misconceptions.

Deforestation free palm-oil is a thing
