Palm oil is most likely an ingredient in your favorite brands from shampoo to chocolate to dairy-free butters. Almost 50% of all packaged goods contain palm oil. And the act of harvesting it releases an unreasonable amount of carbon into the atmosphere, destroys tropical forests, threatens the survival of orangutans and displaces people. It can seem overwhelming. But you can choose to buy products without palm oil. It’s a small choice, but small choices can add up to big benefits for our shared home, Earth.
