Orangutans Online

The RSPO (Round table for Sustainable Palm Oil) is the world's only globally accepted organisation dedicated to sustainable palm oil production. Of the major UK supermarkets, Asda has led the way and shown full commitment, signing up to the RSPO. Also signed up are Marks & Spencer, and in all but name, Sainsbury's. This, however, leaves Tesco. The bad guy of UK supermarkets has another reason to be shamed - its refusal to act where others have led leaves it unconcerned about the source of palm oil in own label products. It goes without saying that the destruction of orangutan habitat for palm oil production is a critical factor in the population's downfall.

What can you do? Take action against Tesco and join BOSF and other groups in campaining against them, or write to the local managers. Alternatively - shop at Sainsbury's or Asda.
