Many #Easter eggs contain PALM OIL - an ingredient tied to deforestation & the loss of critical habitat for #orangutans. Make your Easter a little kinder - for orangutans, forests & our shared planet - and speak up! Ask companies to use only truly sustainable, traceable, deforestation-free palm oil.
