Good News for the Rainforest?

We are very aware of issues concerning the rainforest's and some people are maybe fed up hearing them but this story is about a young biologist from Indonesia.  

Rudi Putra who was awarded the goldman environmental prize for managing to shut down 26 illegal palm oil operations, read more about his story here...it is very interesting.

The environment is a very important issue with us and is something close to our hearts.  There is a lot happening in the world today and not all of it is good.  

As an environmentally conscience company, we ourselves only use sustainably sourced organic Palm Oil - this means that we don't promote deforestation of the rainforest's that harbour endangered wildlife (Orangutans, Tigers & Elephants), medicinal plants (some of which are unique to rainforest's).  

Deforestation on even a small scale can cause localised flooding, which is happening on an increasing scale every year!  Shockingly the Indonesian Government are set to increase Palm Oil production to double by 2020, of which the USA uses most of the 90% of the global market.

We'd love to hear any thoughts on this, so why not leave a comment below?
