The problem often lies with where and how it is grown. To make way for palm oil plantations, huge areas of rainforest are torn down by bulldozers or burned to the ground. When these forests are destroyed, local people lose their homes and amazing species like orangutans and many different species of birds are put in danger. We can change this. Palm oil can be produced without destroying rainforests, and each of these brands has promised to stop buying dirty palm oil by 2020.&quot;},{&quot;title&quot;:&quot;If brands already promised, what more do you want?&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;Alarmingly, brands and traders are not on track to meet their commitments by 2020. They promised to drop palm oil from forest destroyers by 2020 but they\\u2019ve made very little progress and won\\u2019t meet that deadline. Their failure means products like Kit Kat, Dove, Ritz and Colgate contain dirty palm oil. There are still 500 days to go until 2020, and brands have time to turn it around - that\\u2019s where you come in. Customers, like you and me, need to put pressure on these household brands, and let them know that their involvement with dirty palm oil is unacceptable.&quot;}],&quot;className&quot;:&quot;is-style-no_image&quot;,&quot;columns_block_style&quot;:&quot;no_image&quot;}}\"><\/div>\n        <div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\">\n        \n        \n        <figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-1 is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n        <lite-youtube style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/fzZ1bn2mqrk\/hqdefault.jpg');\" videoid=\"fzZ1bn2mqrk\" params=\"rel=0\"><\/lite-youtube>\n        <\/div><\/figure><\/div>\n        <div data-render=\"planet4-blocks\/columns\" data-attributes=\"{&quot;attributes&quot;:{&quot;columns_block_style&quot;:&quot;tasks&quot;,&quot;columns_title&quot;:&quot;What you can do&quot;,&quot;columns_description&quot;:&quot;Big brands promised to stop deforestation for palm oil by 2020, that\\u2019s less than 500 days away.
