Tropical deforestation accounts for about 15 percent of the
world’s global warming emissions—that’s more than every car, truck, plane,
ship, and train on earth! Think this is just something happening far away,
removed from you and me? Think again. The paper you use, the meat you eat, even
your Girl Scout cookies may contribute to deforestation. You can help advocate
for practical, cost-effective solutions for reducing deforestation that can
also save endangered plants and animals, and support sustainable development.
Palm oil is currently used in thousands of
products we use every day and it’s being produced at a tremendous expense to
our planet's tropical forests. Please urge the CEOs of Coca-Cola, Wal-Mart,
Procter and Gamble, and Kraft, to take a lead role in driving the global market
toward deforestation-free products.
