ABOUT
PLANET NOT PALM
Planet Not Palm is an environmental awareness website created by two seventh-grade girls. We are dedicated to stopping the palm oil problem, and we hope that this website will convince you to be as well.
OUR MISSION.
Palm oil is a gigantic, rapidly growing problem that must be solved with a gigantic group of people. Deforestation is consuming the planet at terrifying rates and must be stopped. We attempt to help in as many ways as possible, but it wouldn't be enough without others.
Our mission with this website is to raise awareness about the palm oil problem and the many problems of the earth in general.
We hope it fulfills our hope and that we have encouraged you to help as well.
