To: The Government to impose law on retailers
Palm Oil-Free Online Shopping
Retailers have an obligation to make it easy for consumers to buy Palm Oil Free products. We would like a law to ensure products are clearly labelled - Palm Oil Free or Contains Palm Oil in a prominent place. We also want online shopping with clear visible access to Palm Oil Free products.
Why is this important?
The facts are clear about the impact of palm oil on the worlds resources and carbon contributions. Right now the blame appears to be on the consumer for not making ethical choices. The Government and UKs Leading retailers need to make the choices clear for consumers so that the UK public can make green decisions more easily and quickly everyday. The UK has made a commitment in the Paris Agreement which it must honor. Small enforcements like these will impact large scale public consumption and use of Palm Oil Free products and help the government meet UN targets. It will also raise awareness of this issue amongst the public and help change attitudes to the significance of our daily choices on world health and climate change.
How it will be delivered
We will deliver the signatures in person at downing street with the children who inspired the petition, and gather as many press and influential supporters along with us.
