Day 15: Write to your favourite brands who need to change ingredients

After the weekend's discovery of Microbeads and Palm Oil in pretty much everything I consume & use, I was left a bit bewildered as to my next step. I have decided to break it down into single products.

Monday came and I went to get my usual lunch, a Glorious Soup. I was waiting for it to heat up and reading the back when I saw 'Palm oil' listed as an ingredient! I know there are sustainable sources of Palm Oil so I dont just put them on the 'bad list', I decided to email to them instead and find out where they sourced their Palm Oil from. Unfortunately they didn't reply, they haven't replied all week. I am really disappointed that such a seemingly great product would have an ingredient like that in, and I'm still hopeful to hear that it's not the case, but sadly the lack of reply does make me wonder if they just don't know what to say back to me.

I'm going to write them a letter, and see if they can clarify their source of Palm Oil as being sustainable. I'll update this post if I get a reply.
