Tell PepsiCo to Protect Rainforests, Orangutans and People: Cut Conflict Palm Oil!
PepsiCo must demand responsible palm oil from its suppliers and eliminate Conflict Palm Oil--associated with enslaving children, killing endangered orangutans, and destroying the rainforest--from its products.
Why is this important?
If we care about our kid’s future, we can no longer buy products that harm our planet.
That’s why I’m ashamed to say that my neighbor PepsiCo, one of the biggest companies in Westchester, NY, is also one of the biggest buyers of palm oil in the world. Much of that palm oil drives mass deforestation in Indonesia.
PepsiCo 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 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 PepsiCo did the same.
Would you help me put some local pressure on PepsiCo by signing this petition? As a neighbor, I’ll make sure it’s a message they can’t ignore.
