Well, it seems celebrity chef, Nigella Lawson, supports sustainable palm oil, if this "like" from her on Orangutan Land Trust's post is any clue! Choose #Sustainable #PalmOil! @nigella.bsky.social @orangutanlandtrust.bsky.social

💚🦧’The Rimba’ is for children that ask ‘big’ questions and for adults who don’t always know how to answer them. The Rimba opens conversations about rainforest loss, care, and responsibility — gently, honestly, and with hope. All profits go to orangutan conservation 🦧💚 amzn.eu/d/6QKtNkh

While the RSPO is no silver bullet, it is on a trajectory to make ALL palm oil sustainable and as consumers, we have a role to play in helping to make that happen.

No! Michelle has worked tirelessly to save orangutans. Do the research and see that supporting sustainable palm oil production will save orangutans. And I have a personal letter from Sir David Attenborough supporting what we are doing in my hometown to make it a sustainable palm oil community.

Worth the read. Summary: palm oil is not in&of itself unsustainable. On the contrary, it's high-yielding & uses 1/9th the land of soybean oil. The main culprit is expansionist ag practises & destruction of sensitive native environments. ❌️Don't boycott; choose sustainable-certified products instead❗️

There is a broadly accepted view amongst researchers and industry that forest conversion for palm oil contributes to species decline, including localised extinction of significant numbers of plants and animals. www.openaccessgovernment.org/protecting-w...
