How to become Palm Oil-Free as an individual

Individual consumers can avoid purchasing products containing Palm Oil, and they can also pressure companies to stop using Palm Oil in their products by boycotts, letters, and calls.

By making a conscious choice in reading the ingredient list on our food labels, cosmetic labels, and other products such as household cleaners. One can educate themselves in which daily products they consume and use contain Palm Oil. Thereby removing, reducing, or replacing these products known to contain Palm Oil and Palm Oil derivatives. 

• Reduce consumption of processed foods that contain palm oil

• Check ingredients on the packaging to avoid palm oil and its many derivatives

• Use alternative oils from crops grown locally

  • Ex. Corn, Sunflower, Olive, Canola oil

• Get involved in conservation and create your own plan for sustainable living
