What the petition asks
I want the Government to ban or significantly reduce the use of products containg Palm oil imported and sold in the UK.
The effects of deforestation are well documented.
As consumers we are providing a demand for products containing Palm oil which will and is currently destroying the homes and natural habitats of wildlife.
The Government can help slow down and possibly prevent the extinction of exotic species by seizing our contribution to the demand of Palm oil which is responsible for killing our wildlife and damaging our planet.
