In honor of the United Nations observance of The International Day of Forests, FOM Members Care will team up with Singapore’s PM Haze to promote the use of Certified Sustainable Palm Oil (CSPO) by local restaurants. People’s Movement to Stop Haze, known as PM Haze, is a non-profit focusing on outreach, research and advocacy on the transboundary haze crisis. Steering consumption patterns towards sustainable palm oil and paper is one of the main ways they act to empower our community. It is not enough for individuals to change their behavior at home when the largest consumers of non-sustainable palm oil remain in the dark, namely our local restaurants and eateries.  

On 20 March 2020, we will have our chance to become empowered! We will learn about the relationship between palm oil production and haze and the benefits of switching to CSPO. Here is a short video that explains the basics:

Then we’ll be given all the tools we need to promote sustainable palm oil use by local restaurants and eateries in Singapore, whether it be a targeted geographic area or our own neighborhoods and favorite restaurants. Join is in making Singapore haze-free by registering here.
