In all honesty, I made a bit of a blunder and pointed out that Dove was using cheap Indonesian palm oil in its products. Unfortunately, I had already said on a previous post that Unilever had announced it was removing palm oil from its products... not realising Unilever is the parent company of Dove.
No such announcements from Nestle yet.
But good news... Greenpeace are fighting the good fight. At the Nestle AGM in April, Greenpeace activists broke in through the ceiling and unfurled two 'Give the orang-utans a break' banners right over the shareholders heads. Legends. I wish they'd dropped a massive Nature Haters banner!
Don't think this issue is just about saving Orangutans - the major killer here is deforestation. These guys tear down the rainforest, then they burn all the leftovers. They're tearing and burning at such a rate, that Indonesia is now the third largest greenhouse gas emitter on our planet!
