Say No To Palm Oil Research Paper

In today's world most of us focus on make-up, their social lives, parties, and spending money. But why? Why care about those things, when there are more important out there, like the ice caps melting, the Eastern Lowland Gorillas are endangered. When Palm Oil trees are being cut down at alarming rates for everyday household items. In what ways can we as a society help the animals, people, and plants that are affected by the growing global warming. For me the most compelling issue we saw in the video was how many products Palm Oil was in, and how fast they are cutting down the trees. According to Say No To Palm Oil, “This single vegetable oil is found in approximately 40-50% of household products.” In the 20th century Palm Oil was brought
The fact that animals and being ripped from their homes. For what? A box of Macaroni and Cheese? A bottle of shampoo. It saddens me to no extend. Don’t get me wrong, I love my Macaroni and Cheese, but at what cost? Animals homes are being taken from them, families of animals are being torn apart apart for something so small.

Ever since we started growing our own food we don’t have to worry about buying produced vegetables, we know where they came from and what they were grown in. We don’t thrown old food away as much because we all like the taste of the home grown food. One other way I personally try to help is try to carpool with my friends. If we’re going to the same place we try to all get a ride together. I know it’s a small difference, but it will eventually help change global warming.
At the end of the day, try and think, ‘what did I do to help the planet?’ If you’re not happy with the answer, there’s tomorrow. But at some point there won’t always be a tomorrow. That’s why you have to try to help today. Even if it just growing your own food, buying a refillable water bottle, or something as simple as turning over you shampoo and seeing if Palm Oil was used in the processing
