1. PalmOil is a huge problem in Indonesia- but I would say that beyond a problem in itself, it strongly aggravates Indonesia's problems.
2. Greenpeace launched a campaign against Unilever (Dove products, spec.) as the company is one of the major buyers of palmoil (made in Indonesia).
Campaign uses orangutangs and indigenous peoples as icons of vulnerability; and manipulates the original Dove campaign for liberating girls from abusive aesthetic patterns.
All my friends, from London to Manaus, are talking about it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odI7pQFyjso&feature=user and some said they won't buy Dove anymore.
3. Almost all cosmetics in the world (and food, as well) use palmoil as basis. Have you noticed that even the "environment-friendly" products contain "pure vegetal oil" in its formula? Well, this is a proof that they are made of palmoil (possibly from Indonesia).
So what are the alternatives to Dove, asks a good friend of mine? There are organic and even vegan cosmetics nowadays. But they are expensive - so what about those people with take a shower everyday but can't spend US$ 5 just for a soap?
I think this debate is SUPERgood. That's why I think this is post #1.
