Rang-tan: the story of dirty palm oil

[rjzimmerman]

This cartoon is a minute and half long. It’s narrated by Emma Thompson. It tells a story about a little girl who doesn’t know what to do with a baby orangutan who found himself in the little girl’s room, and she doesn’t know why. I promise you’ll appreciate it, and maybe like it. I did.

Here’s a description from Greenpeace, the producer, and Emma Thompson:

My name is Emma Thompson. You may know me from films like Love Actually or Sense and Sensibility...or, you may not have the foggiest idea who I am. But today I’m writing to you as a Greenpeace supporter, like you.

Over the years I have been truly moved by everything we have achieved to protect the world’s rainforests and infuriated by companies that have chosen not to play their part. They promised that by 2020 rainforests would not be destroyed to grow acre upon acre of palm oil plantations — the palm oil that is in over half the products on our supermarket shelves.

I hope this film makes more people realize the weight of this moment and the opportunity we have to pull back the curtain on unsustainable palm oil for the sake of Indonesia’s rainforests and the orangutans that live there.

Rang-tan shines a light on the impact the palm oil industry is having on the rainforests of Indonesia when they are cleared to grow palm oil that is used as an ingredient in our chocolates, soaps and snacks.

This year we can spread this story far and wide. The more people that see Rang-tan the more pressure we can put on brands and companies in the next 500 days.
