Be a super hero–protect orangutans!

DSC_0237I know it’s meat-free Friday, but let’s be honest – we won’t be eating dinner tonight.  It’s all candy, all the time, tonight!  Did you know there’s a connection between orangutans and Halloween? It turns out that orangutans live in tropical rainforest that is threatened by the production of palm oil. This palm oil is used in many food products including, you guessed it – many Halloween candies. But there’s good news! A group of snack and candy producers has formed the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) which pledges to only use palm oil farmed using sustainable methods. Here’s some candy that’s part of the RSPO pledge – all of the sweets and none of the guilt! For more info, see www.rspo.org
