Stop using palm oil
Stop using palm oil
Palm oil is the oil that you get from palm trees and if you stop using palm oil the people who own the palm oil company will get less revenue.
Therefore it will have a slight impact on the production of the palm oil and they don't have to keep on clearing forests for more space to grow palm trees.
