Greenpeace recently launched a viral video aimed at exposing Nestle's use of rainforest destroying palm oil in candy products. There has been a lot of buzz around the video. It's kind of gross and it's embedded below. Greenpeace backers are all about it and think it's incredibly effective. Treehugger is reporting that Nestle has backed down as a result of the ad and is not longer using palm oil. The Nestle corporate site tells another story. It claims that palm oil is not a major ingredient in its dairy and confectionery products that the company is already committed to using only sustainable palm oil by 2015. Either way, we can commend Greenpeace for getting attention and Nestle for taking corporate responsibility seriously.
