UnPollute

Forward to the Zero Emissions Future

It's true, we're using up their forests for food and fuel.  Palm Oil.  For bio-diesel and oils in processed foods and snacks.

Here's the truth.  And it can be really hard to source some of these companies supplies, so thank goodness the work has been done for you.  Read the report from the Rainforest Action Network (RAN):

Download or open their PDF file, click the big red button on the linked page.  I think it's pretty darn important.  Knowledge is power, eh?

As always, I look forward to your comments and insights, how you might update behaviors, or  maybe just add more links or pictures, anything can be added to a comment, so that's fun.  And, further, I can update any of these discussions in the main body whenever I want --  and I occasionally do-- to give them makeovers or add pics and info (usually links).  So critique away.   All UnPollute members can start discussions in any topic or heading, or utilize their own blog and link it or repost it to their own personal Unpollute blog. 

Enjoy the Holidays and Happy New Year!

The Unpollute Charter and my Highest Aspiration: to get cleaner air by giving you money to enable nonpolluting modes of transport and sustenance. Carbon offset credits to the people... that's the idea I call Unpollute!
