“Mandatory Labelling of Palm Oil” NOW..

Why This Is Important

Palm oil production is the single biggest threat to South East Asian rainforests.
Palm oil is found in over 40% of the food products on our shelves.
Palm oil isn’t even labeled in Australia. The average Australian consumes 10kg of Palm Oil every year.
Once palm oil is labelled, consumers can actually drive a market for proper certified sustainable palm oil because they can demand it of manufacturers.

Stop U.S. Malls From Selling Exotic Animals

Sugar gliders are native to Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji. They live communally in groups of thirty or more and enjoy gliding, playing and searching for food. Yet they are regularly sold to families in U.S. malls.

Tell U.S. malls to leave sugar gliders alone! »

Because of the kiosks’ locations in malls and the species’ cute appearance, shoppers purchase the animals on impulse like toys, oblivious to their special, long-term needs.

Sugar gliders’ natural diet consists of native insects, wattle gum and eucalyptus sap, which U.S. shoppers rarely have access to. Most U.S. vets also have no resources to provide sugar gliders with health.

Sugar gliders deserve to live in their native habitat, where they can glide, play with their family members and search for food. Shoppers do not need these pets and typically grow bored with them shortly after purchase.

Please sign the petition to convince U.S. Congress to outlaw the sale of sugar gliders at malls. »
