Sweet Young Girl
Jul 17, 2020 16:23:31 #
I was trekking through the jungles of Indonesia searching for young orangutans. I found this 9 month old female who allowed my to photograph her for a little while. Her mom watched carefully. I have to ask that all of you please read your grocery labels. The orangutan habitat is being completely obliterated for growing palm oil. This deforestation is rendering the orangutan seriously endangered. Thank you, everyone and everything deserves a chance. I know that I usually post landscapes but this sweet little girl captured my heart.

Don't see any palm oil for sale - use almost no processed food. By all reports, projected steep declines in human birth rates should have the impact you desire - lower demand.

Wouldn't miss them. Haven't bought Oreos since my kids were grown - never bought a Twinkie - don't care to be around "Twinkies"!

I usually make my own cookies to avoid palm oil, also so that I can know what I'm putting in my innards.I'ts almost impossible to find any crackers, cookies, etc. that doesn't have it.

Beautifully captured, Kathleen. Palm oil is high in saturated fats but, when you start reading labels, it seems there are more products that contain it than not.
