Palm Oil Video Analysis

What is Palm Oil? Palm oil is an edible plant oil which has become a common ingredient in many consumer products (Rainforest Rescue 1). Palm oil grows on trees in rainforests. In order for Palm Oil to grow the temperature must be moist and hot. Therefore, the rainforest and regions near the equator are prime location for the growth of this oil. Most of the Palm Oil trees are farmed and used as an ingredient in an item that is sold for commerce. Currently about half of the products, that people use and buy on a day to day basis, contains the ingredient Palm oil (Rainforest Rescue 1).
Palm oil deforestation is a recent environment, and socioeconomic issue that has become increasingly popular in the last few years. The Palm Oil, which is collected,

The Kit Kat bar is a chocolate desert that is made by the major company, Nestle. The title of the video is “Have a Break?” this title is a play on the company’s slogan for the candy bar (Greenpeace). The video is depicting a normal work day, when a male employee takes out a Kit Kat bar. However, it’s not a usual candy bar, it appears to be the finger of an orangutan.

Before the video ends, there’s a sound a chain saw and an image of an orangutan with a baby on a singular tree in the middle of a tore down field. Greenpeace was going for a spectacle effect, as it would bring more light to this issue. The orangutan is an animal species that lives in the rainforest, which is where Palm Oil trees are grown. Therefore, with the detrition of Palm Oil trees, also means that the habitats of orangutans are getting destroyed. The video is an extreme exaggeration that isn’t even plausible. However, this does imply that Palm Oil is included in the candy bar’s ingredients, which it

Yes. However, its big business that are greedy in a way, and as the graphs display the demand has increased. Therefore, I think it’s up to government leaders to intervene and perhaps put regulations on the farming of Palm Oil. There are someone new rules that deal specifically with palm oil regulation. This process occurs a new name for palm oil that has been regulated by officials. It’s referred to as certified sustainable palm oil, which is palm oil that has been produced on a plantation, while being controlled and approved according to the standards of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (World Wildlife Fund 1). From these new rules the plantation that grows the certified sustainable palm oil must also meet regulation from the officials. The land must not contain a critical life of wildlife (perhaps that are endangered), habitats or other ecological principals, and the land also has to satisfy guidelines by the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (World Wildlife Fund 1). These regulations make the sustainable way of producing palm oil
