Thank you to everyone who has supported our campaign so far. It is with great pleasure that we can tell you that the Truth in Labelling Palm Oil Bill passed the Senate unopposed on the 23rd June 2011. The next step is for the Bill to be voted on in the House of Representatives - We can still use your support. SUBMISSIONS ARE DUE 15th AUGUST 2011

Every year habitats are lost and animals die because rainforest is cleared for unsustainable palm oil plantations - but palm oil can be grown sustainably without destroying vital animal habitats. To help support sustainable palm oil sources, the first step is for palm oil to be labeled on food products. Currently, with no mandatory labeling, consumers do not know what is in the products they are purchasing. You have a right to know!
