Why is this plant-based oil devastating the rainforest? You may not know it, but many products you encounter every day can contain palm oil. Packaged snacks like chips and cookies contain palm oil, and household products like lipstick and toothpaste do, too. There is an increased demand on this cheap and versatile oil, and companies cut corners on sustainability to make a profit.
There are environmental impacts related to palm oil due to deforestation, as land is cleared for palm plantations. There are also impacts on wildlife - the Bornean orangutan, Sumatran tigers, rhinos, and elephants are some of the species at risk. There are impacts on indigenous communities and activists who try to protect the land.
How can we move forward from palm oil? Several countries have implemented bans, though experts warn that another land-intensive oil will simply take its place. Dr. Jane Goodall supports the sustainable production of palm oil, but it has to be done right. Governing bodies such as the RSPO provide sustainability regulations for palm oil production. There are also lab-grown palm oil alternatives that may soon take palm oil's place.

I avoid buying products as best I can by (1) scanning the bar code with the PalmOilScanner app. (2) If the product isn’t in the database I do a Google search on whether the product is certified. (3) I there’s no way to verify the product I seek an alternative. I have no desire to participate in habitat destruction and unsustainable practices.

I’m Indian and India is the largest importers of palm oil. Almost every snack foods available here such as biscuits, cookies, chips and crisps contain palm oil. Four years ago when I turned vegan(I have been vegetarian prior to that) I came across an article regarding the devastation caused by palm oil cultivation and how it is the single, greatest threat to the survival of orangutans. Since then I never used a product or ate a snack containing palm oil.

That detail in the video about "every second of everyday, a section of rainforest the size of a football field is decimated" really puts it into perspective. All non sustainable palm oil products should be boycotted and banned, same for animal agriculture. It's destroying irreplaceable life. It only keeps on going if people give their money to it when they buy stuff. Little changes from everyone has a massive impact 👍😊

I source my palm oil from West Africa in Gabon and Cameroon to support small farmers there or South America.

Avoiding it all is almost impossible. Individual actions will only do so much, because most people won't bother. We need governmental actions, and in Capitalist economies, heavy pressure against companies who don't currently care.

I do try to buy sustainable palm oil, but also tried to avoid it when possible, now I see avoiding it completely is not the answer. Thanks for the educational video.

What of cutting down trees, used for constructing house, chairs, wardrobes, cabinets e.t.c. ? Eating or using palm oil does not mean we encourage deforestation. All these are just part of human life circle which we must obey. So when a tree is being cut, we are encouraged to plant another, that is the circle but you did not address this.
