Thanks for taking a look

stopthechop - It's about just taking 5 minutes out to consider what we could change or do to have a positive impact on other people, our surroundings, re-building communities that look after one another, and teaching children good values to take into the next generation to care for people, our environment and the planet.

Put down the games consoles, serve tea at the table with food from local shops, chat to the kids, forget about the Jones's and what they've got, and come up with something if you haven't already.

I applied to get on the plinth to promote 3 Orangutan Charities who do amazing work in very very difficult circumstances. The people and volunteers work is tireless. I decided when I found out, back in 2004, about Orangutans and what was happening to them, that I'd do something and that turned out to making palm oil-free soap and now candles and other stuff.

There is info on here about Palm Oil, the rainforest, climate change and the lovely Orange chaps who if they are lucky still have some forest left.

It doesn't matter what you do, big or small, time or money it all counts.

This vid is a 'good' overview

This is a video from the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, with some footage from Mark Jordan of Sky News reporting from the middle of what was the rainforest.

This gives you an overview of how Orangutans are connected to palm oil:
