Press for an international ban on ships discharging palm oil into the sea.

Closed 126 signatures

What the petition asks

I want to make it illegal for any products containing palm oil to be discharged into the sea. Not only is the manufacture of this product damaging to the environment, when it is allowed to be released into the sea it further endangers wildlife and pets that use the beach with its toxic properties.
Every day we are getting large quantities of palm oil deposited onto our beautiful beaches throughout the uk. The sad consequences of this are dreadful. This product is responsible for sickness and death in many animals due to its toxic nature. Many much loved family dogs have died as a result of ingesting it on a walk on the beach, I want this to never happen to anyone.
