Hi Deb,
Glad you arrived safely and that things are going well. I can’t wait to learn more and share your findings with Ventura County RAN.

Thanks for the update so far Debra! I look forward to hearing more about how palm oil expansion is impacting the forests and communities in Malaysia. Everyone should also know that 87.7% of palm oil imported to the U.S. comes from Malaysia. So, palm oil in our food and fuel is likely coming from Malaysia.

Debbie,
Very exciting. And from a nutrition stand point, palm oil is a saturated fat and not very healthy!
