PT-130330


Received from d_little_b (Portugal) on 24/7/10
Translation: "Palm oil is one of the most popular vegetable oils, used in virtually everything, from food to soap. In Borneo, rain forest was devastated to give way for palm oil plantations. The destructionof the natural habitat of orangutans resulted in the survival of only 50,000, where there used to be 300,000. In 12 years, the orangutans will be extinct (based on current decay rate)"
This card comes from Lisbon.
What a shame that big indestries feed on the venvoronment in a non-sustainable way, destroying life there.
