This petition was submitted during the 2017-2019 parliament
Rejected petition Ban palm oil trade in the UK and stop using palm oil in products.
Palm oil trade is a huge problem. We are cutting down forests and making spaces for palm trees, by doing this we are killing innocent animals like orangutans. If we stop using palm oil we will not be supporting the killing of these animals.
More details
So far over 50,000 orangutans in Borneo and Sumatra have died because of palm oil deforestation.This is happening all around us, we need to act fast, we need to act now.
