An example of humans destroying nature

[deleted]

It’s so hard to. A lot of companies have obscured their ingredients list because this is such a hot-button issue now. They call it “vegetable oil” now. And, by collectively boycotting palm oil, we’ll just make companies shift to another oil and destroy another habitat.

Instead, cook. Bake. Don’t buy packaged crackers, donuts, frozen meals or canned soups. Buy real vegetables, flour (or better yet, wheat berries and grind your own flour, but I’m a HUGE hippy, so ymmv), make your own broths and soups.

We assume that cooking is easy or convenient because we can sit down at a restaurant and get our meal inside forty minutes, or pour out a can of beans and call it chili. But, historically, cooking -and sourcing- food has been one of the most labor-intensive and expensive tasks humans have had to do for their survival. If we chose to live a lifestyle that acknowledges our nutrition is a difficult, resource-consuming, vital task, then we’ll all be one step closer to aligning with nature.

Yeah I can’t watch it either.

It wasn’t killed, and the people seemed actively trying to protect it from the direct consequences of felling the tree. I don’t know if the people were the logging workers, or from the rescue organization, though the guy in the bulldozer was complying when they told him to stop, or move away from the orangutan.

That’s true, but these sort of thing is happening all over the world, not just with the palm tree forests. Look into how to help.

Your wallet is one of the biggest factors. Don’t buy what you don’t support. And find ways to actively help the earth

Electric cars, sustainable food, planting trees and flowering plants etc, all help.

Everyone thinks one person doesn’t make a difference but that’s just wrong, it only takes one pebble to make ripples across the entire pond.

They will... with palm oil trees, which does nothing for the orangutans. They’re deforesting the rainforests of Borneo to install palm oil plantations.
