TELL TRADER JOE’S TO STOP KILLING THE EARTH & INNOCENT ANIMALS BY USING PALM OIL!

The Issue

Palm oil, even so called “sustainable” palm oil is not only destroying our Earth, it is savagely killing natural wildlife at an alarming rate while callously tearing down the only shelter these animals have access to, leaving them homeless and vulnerable. With countless species already extinct and so many more rapidly disappearing, We must hold those profiting from it, accountable. 
Trader Joe’s has been a leader in making sustainable changes to their company, yet they continue to use one of the most destructive ingredients, palm oil, in their foods & products. 

“Palm oil is cheap – and we’re using way too much of it.”

“Palm oil is a major cause of forest destruction.”

”Palm oil is devastating the world’s wildlife.”

“Certified sustainable’ palm oil is a con.”

“Brands have broken their promise to end deforestation for palm oil.”

 Quotes from Green Peace https://www.greenpeace.org.uk/news/5-problems-with-sustainable-palm-oil/

“The use of sustainability labels had allowed for even greater expansions of plantations that are driving orangutanstowards extinction in southeast Asia and destroying natural carbon-absorbing rainforests, they said.”

“No such thing as sustainable palm oil – 'certified' can destroy even more wildlife, say scientists
Exclusive: Study reveals 'trick' behind endorsement schemes linked to 'greenwashing’ “
