  Whats the point in having palm oil if it destroys rainforest? I don't want palm oil if this is what happens

• Margaux

  Poor animals I think let’s try to stop buying things the are with non sustainable palm oil . So then they stop cutting down the forest so we can save those animals . If you agree say stop buying non sustainable palm oil .

  Palm oil is so bad for the environment, and it contributes to climate change. Here's why: Around 71% of our world is covered in water, and most of it is filled with plastic. It’s in the air, our food and our drinks. This is called Ocean Pollution, and it also contributes to climate change. It kills marine life, makes the ocean more acidic, produces carbon dioxide and the heat from the sun reflected on all of the microplastics melts ice and glaciers. Some side effects of climate change on oceans are dead sea life and higher sea levels. 31% of Earth is covered in trees. Trees are so important to aid defence against climate change. They store carbon dioxide, but when humans cut down trees, they release carbon dioxide into our atmosphere, contributing to climate change.
