Did you know you that Palm oil is found in over 50% of processed foods (candles and grooming products as well) and this is destroying the rainforest where many animals live and affecting the local people that live there as well?
Here is great information about palm oil and what you could do to stop this at rainforest rescue
Remember “Every dollar you spend … or don’t spend… is a vote you cast for the world you want.” so let’s send a strong message!
The power is In Your Palm!

Favourite books… well that is a hard one as it depends on my mood and the kids as well… but here is a small sample 🙂
These books are great for teaching kids ethics and environment and my kids love them, the author uses short stories 🙂
These ones are great as well for kids
This is one of my favourite just for fun authors, although oddly enough I am not so crazy about her famous shopping series of books
and an old one that I have had for years
The Canadian Homeschooler is doing a weekly photo challenge … the theme this week is ‘ Our favourite book ‘
have a great weekend

What a great symbol to look for on products !
Their mission ( according to their site ) ;
“The Rainforest Alliance works to conserve biodiversity and ensure sustainable livelihoods by transforming land-use practices, business practices and consumer behavior.”
How awesome is that ???
Next time you are shopping see if you see one of their logos 🙂
To learn more about them please visit their site here at Rainforest Alliance
They also have a neat kids section here … which I plan to cover with the kids as part of a homeschool project in the coming weeks.
have a great week!
