For full credit: Use at least 5 sentences to express your thoughts (your post) and reply to at least two colleagues.
This week we cover eco-labels and how to be a more conservation-conscious consumer. One of the things mentioned is how detrimental unsustainable palm oil can be.
Though some students are very much aware of the issue that is palm oil, most students are surprised to learn how intimately connected we are to this issue.
For this week's discussion, I ask that you check the "Ingredients List" from the World Wildlife https://www.worldwildlife.org/pages/which-everyday... . I would, then, like for you to check for some products around your home, including those mentioned on that same link, under "It's Time to Peel Back the Label".
Did you find anything containing palm oil? If so, what type of products? Were you at all surprised or is this something you were already aware of? If you were already aware of the issue and have been taking steps to avoid the consumption of palm oil, what are some tips you can give us concerning product replacement?
