To: Governor Gavin Newsom
Governor of California Jerry Brown: Issue a statement against global warming caused by palm oil.
We would like to urge your office to make a strong statement on one of the leading causes of global warming from green house gas emissions which is conventional palm oil cultivation.
The British government has already made a pledge to fight global warming by using only Certified Sustainable Palm Oil by 2015. As one of the largest economies in the world, policies on the environment that the state of California has made has had tremendous influence on how products are made and we only need to point out how car makers are continuously striving to meet your stringent emissions targets.

Why is this important?
Palm oil cultivation, especially the ones that destroy old rain-forests is the biggest agricultural contributor to green house gases. Global warming knows no borders and the damage that is done in foreign countries, is directly affecting America today in extreme weather.
