how we can help
food related
buy products with less palm oil or sustainably produced palm oil
this will make sure the palm oil isn't produced in rainforests that have been cut down
buy more locally produced foods
many rainforests are destroyed for food production such as coffee or beef
by buying locally you can make sure it doesn't come from a rainforest that has been cut down
meat free Mondays or try a plant based diet
beef cattle farming caused 71% of large scale deforestation in South America
prevents deforestation as less land will need to be cleared
