So No To Palm Oil

I was "reminded" by a friend, and loyal reader (thanks Mike), that I never did a post on Earth Day.
Honestly, I didn't totally forget.  I just haven't been feeling very inspired lately.
We did some much needed yard work last weekend.  Pulled out invasive English Ivy and wild blackberries.  That counts as a good deed for the Earth right?
I know...pretty lame!

So, it hit me this afternoon!  (As I used pretzel sticks to consume large amounts of delicious Nutella.)  Palm oil.
It's the second ingredient in my wonderful Nutella snack.
Here's the problem.
The world consumes lots of palm oil.  It's in food, it's in cosmetics, it's in detergents.  And most of that palm oil is not grown and harvested sustainably.  Unfortunately, the world's obsession with this vegetable oil costs the Earth, and more specifically...the orangutan.

Because we care about the Earth, and the orangutan, we are going to be much more careful to avoid palm oil.  (and find out who's doing a responsible job by growing and harvesting it sustainably)
Guess the first step is no more Nutella on our next Costco run!
