Many products use palm oil such as peanut butter and soap. Peanut butter with palm oil encourages slash and burn tactics to clear rainforest land to make room for palm trees to sell their palm oil. This is happening in Indonesia where orangutans live. They have created sustainable palm oil fields but to be safe you can purchase peanut butter without palm oil.
The concept of the show "The Good Place" with Ted Danson, is that no one can go to heaven because our society does not allow the transparency in the products and services we use daily. When we purchase normal things online, at grocery stores, clothes, whatever we purchase products from, without knowing how the products were manufactured, where the raw materials came from in the supply chain undermines the integrity of our environment, encourages labor practices that treat employees poorly, encourages slash and burn of rainforests and native habitat throughout the world ruining our environment and may kill our struggling wildlife.
We can be mindful of our impact on others, our wildlife and our environment by not just choosing the cheapest option but choosing to purchase products that have a more positive impact.
