This is what rain forest turns into when the natural vegetation is gone. Sandy desert, cement pits! You can help: when in the grocery store, check the labels and choose a candy, cracker, cereal, or "diet health" bar that does not contain palm oil (sometimes disguised as "oil of palm" or palmitate as manufacturers try to disguise their use of palm oil.) Kudos to Whole Foods grocery stores for their recent stand on products with palm oil!! The inspiration for my "Raze paradise" slogan comes from a 1970 Joni Mitchell song with lyrics that included the stanza below: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . "They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum. And they charged all the people A dollar and a half just to see 'em. Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got till it's gone? They paved paradise and put up a parking lot."
