General Mills commits to sustainble palm oil by 2015

Not even Cheerios is safe from palm oil! General Mills markets Cheerios, Häagen-Dazs, Nature Valley, Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Green Giant, Old El Paso, Progresso, Yoplait, Cascadian Farm, Muir Glen, and more.

The Rainforest Action Network (RAN) campaigned agains General Mills in January 2010 and thankfully on the 22nd of September 2010 General Mills committed to 100% sustainable palm oil by 2015.

So as you can see, pressuring the companies DOES WORK! :)
