Tell Kraft Foods to Protect Rainforests, Orangutans and People: Cut Conflict Palm Oil!
Kraft Food Groups must demand responsible palm oil from its suppliers and eliminate Conflict Palm Oil--associated with enslaving children, killing endangered orangutans, and destroying the rainforests--from its products.
Why is this important?
If we care about our kids' future, we can no longer buy products that harm our planet.
That’s why I’m ashamed to say that my neighbor Kraft Foods, one of the biggest companies in the Chicago area, uses Conflict Palm Oil in its products. Much of that palm oil drives mass deforestation in Indonesia.
Kraft could easily help protect people and rainforests if it adopted a policy to buy responsible palm oil instead of Conflict Palm Oil.
The damage caused by Conflict Palm Oil is tremendous. Deforestation to make way for palm oil plantations threatens unique and priceless ecosystems. It threatens species like the Sumatran tiger, Sumatran rhino, and orangutans. The impact on communities who are forced off their land or pushed into forced and child labor is simply unacceptable. The destruction of forests is also releasing carbon into the atmosphere and driving climate change.
Other companies are already dropping Conflict Palm Oil from their products. It’s time Kraft did the same.
Would you help me put some local pressure on Kraft by signing this petition? As a neighbor, I’ll make sure it’s a message they can’t ignore.
