We Breathe What We Buy: Join the Movement - #XtheHaze
“We Breathe What We Buy” is a homegrown movement to educate the public that we, as consumers, have the power to support companies which opt for sustainable practices.
Palm oil is the most widely used vegetable oil. Yet it is also a major cause of the haze. Show companies that we want sustainable, haze-free palm oil in our products. Join the pledge today!
