For the Love of Orangutans

Here is an Orangutan that shows more intelligence and coordination that most people I know! :)

If Only....

Well...as much as I like to think that my emails and rants to corporations and companies that use Palm Oil are helping make a difference...today..I feel at a loss.
How easy it is for these conglomerates to dismiss an individuals concern. How remiss of me to assume that as a consumer , I may have some importance in the realm of today's marketing...
How sad that people can be fined astronomical amounts of money for the piracy of a VIDEO...yet destroy an animal's life...and not be fined or jailed.
What is it with this world? Why are things so askew?
I WILL continue on with my emails, and calls, because I am a true believer in doing SOMETHING...because it is better than doing nothing.
So even tho, today is a low day...I will persevere.
Well I did it. I started a blog. Whether anyone will find it interesting to follow or read, well only time will tell. I love to rant, so what better way to voice my opinion, if not to myself. And if per chance it is read by others, they too, may understand my compassion for the Orangutan and my disgust with manufacturers and their use of Palm Oil. Power in numbers; I always say. So; if nothing else , maybe somewhere, somehow, someone will read this and take a step in helping make a difference.
