Closed UK-wide ban of all products that have used palm oil.

Closed on

An appeal to the British Government for our proud nation to set an example and lead the way globally when it comes to the much loathed and severely damaging and controversial Palm Oil Industry. Nothing less than a UK wide ban on products that use any kind of Palm Oil even in their refining process.

Do we really believe Palm Oil is ever sustainable, and who with what competing interests defines sustainable palm oil from planet ravaging palm oil. Further, how well is this label even regulated in greedy industry. Even if a UK wide ban does not have an influential domino effect on other nations globally, forcing international cosmetic, food etc giants to use alternative products in our market will make a significant difference.
The time is now, we can affect positive change. Thank you.
