Having reflected on the "Forest-Friendly Foods 2" daily challenge, in which I "replace or remove the palm oil, coffee, and cocoa products in my current diet that are known to contribute to deforestation," I thought of what might be an improvement to the challenge. I think that in future Eco-Challenges, there should be more of an emphasis placed on sustainability in this particular daily challenge. Maybe it could specifically state that you can eat food with palm oil that is RSPO (Roundtable On Sustainable Palm Oil) certified. As I learned from watching Years Of Living Dangerously, it's not the oil itself that's bad, it's how the oil is produced that can be bad. Even the St. Louis Zoo website has a page about palm oil and how the industry is affecting animals like the orangutan, and it says that "using certified sustainable palm oil is a more effective and responsible choice" than boycotting palm oil. Teaching people not only to look for palm oil in the ingredients lists on their food, but to look for that certification, it would raise awareness of sustainable palm oil, and using certified palm oil instead of boycotting all palm oil would reward companies who have made sure their palm oil is produced sustainably, and might entice more companies to get the certification. Then maybe our company's store brand products will get that certification too. HINT HINT
