No more palm oil
Dear Consumercare,
This morning it was brought to my attention that a major ingredient to Nutella, a favorite product of mine, is palm oil, and that large swaths of Tropical forest and brought down and burned to free up land for the production of palm oil. In the world of today that is one of the biggest environmental crimes occurring day in day out.
Since I am now informed, I will no longer purchase your product until you have changed your ways and have made your product eco-friendly. I will also encourage anyone I know to quit you cold-turkey, and knock on the doors of companies that sell your product to do the same.
Regards,
Ben Helvensteijn

Why is this important?
I wrote this letter to Nutella, to help curtail the burning down of tropical forests for the production of palm oil. Maybe something can be done along these lines via MoveOn.org.
