If we are not honouring the earth; we are not honouring ourselves.

Have you heard whispers about palm oil but are not really sure what the problem is? Have you heard that the orangutans of Borneo and Sumatra are endangered, but don't know what you can do to help? Allow me to guide you through the easy ways that you can create change to protect the rainforests and orangutans.

Hello there, I am so glad that you are here.

Our rainforests are the lungs of our earth.


We need them to survive.


However, across the islands of Borneo and Sumatra tropical primary rainforest is disappearing at an alarming rate.


And the key culprit?


Palm oil.


This vegetable oil has begun to take centre stage of the environmental debate and for good reason.


Not only is rainforest being cleared to make way for palm oil plantations, there are also grave impacts to endangered wildlife, water sources and the local communities.


As the world begins to understand the devastating impact that deforestation is having on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra, the impact that the palm oil industry is having is beginning to become known.


The islands of Borneo and Sumatra, are the only places in the world where the critically endangered orangutan (that we share 97% the same DNA) is found. 




While this problem might seem a million miles away from where you live, it is actually something that affects all of us.


In fact, take a stroll around your house and I guarantee amongst your pantry, kitchen, laundry and bathroom shelves you will find products that contain palm oil.


You see, the ability to turn the tide on deforestation is actually at your fingertips.


We all have the ability to effect positive change in our everyday lives. 


It is actually really easy to make small changes in your life that can have a big impact.
