Wake Up, Woolworths!

I admire Woolworths' drive to address social upliftment but at the same time I am disappointed that they are not addressing the environment at the same time. You can't have one without the other. (i) I am aghast at how many of their products contain Palm Fruit or Palm Oil. The person/dept who procures foodstuffs containing Palm Oil must have. like Sleeping Beauty, been asleep for 100 years to not know that the afforestation of Palm groves is a scourge. (ii) Not only is the production of Palm Oil destroying natural habitats, but it is threatening the very survival of the vulnerable Orang utan. We, as the client can only do so much, Woolworths must meet us half way and refuse to sell products that contain this mono-culture that is destroying large swathes of the planet. (iii) Also, their packaging is mostly non-recyclable. Why is that? Recycling is not new (WAKE UP Sleeping Beauty!) and too often I despair at how little of the packaging goes into recycling and how much goes into landfill. C'mon Woolworths - you have the power to make a difference. Don't sell us the commercial that you want us to believe - it's better that you walk your talk because you'll be found out in the end. Be The Change - please!!
