‘TimTam Orphans’ in UN Year of Forests
In Indonesia, bulldozing rainforest for profitable palm oil plantations for western diets has become highly profitable due to western corporate demand…
In Indonesia’s Borneo (Kalimantan) the rainforest habitat of orangutans is being destroyed, largely to make way for palm oil plantations due to western diet demand
Arnott’s relies up on palm oil in its popular western ‘Tim Tam’ biscuit product
Just like these other western brands do:
The palm oil driven rainforest deforestation in Borneo (Kalimantan) thanks to unethical palm oil demand from the likes of Arnott’s…
Try finding a shrinking rainforest map on the wrapper of a packet of Tim Tams!
Indonesian unethical destruction of orangutan rainforest habitat continues to provide for palm oil plantations.
This is costing the lives of about 50 orangutans every week.
Arnott’s knows this, yet continues to buy the palm oil and drive the Indonesian palm oil deforestation.
Arnott’s is expanding its sales of palm oil Tim Tams with new product offerings:
2011 has been declared by the United Nations as the International Year of Forests.
Arnott’s knows this.
It won’t be long before human demand for Tim Tams and other palm oil consumer products have driven the orangutan into extinction.
Tim Tams have become the western addiction driving orangutan extinction.
Arnott’s chocolate biscuits are more than a weight gaining guilt.
You eat them, you kill a species.
Will someone make clear to the Arnott’s Board that for Orangutans THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR QUALITY HABITAT.
