[waktoorow]

What a pity, u will be in darkness when d mineral oil exhausted. others are using hydro electric power. Your country going backward to stone age!

[jaypee2002]

good!

[mukaduabelah]

i know how it feel for your country to rely on third world country for the palm oil...pity on you...

[Untulikazi]

Yup a bunch of orangutans

Good video, but with the wrong title. The RSPO is no more than green washing of the biggest TNC's who produce, trade and use palm oil. Don't belief in 'sustainable' palm oil for the export market.

This video however is among others about orang utans and indigenous people violently evicted from their land to make way for monocultures of palm oil. So the West can keep up its luxury consumption of food, cosmetics and energy. And the TNC's can keep their share holders satisfied.

luckely essent(energy company in my country) stopped using palm oil for its energy. Palm oil is killing the climate, biodiversity, and is raping the rainforest in asia.
