Palm Oil

Mineral oil is seen as a problem by Europe and America because it is "dirty", meaning, it is problematic for the environment. Due to this, these nations have been straying away from mineral oil and focusing on palm oil. Palm oil is the desirable resource because it is less detrimental to the environment. Although the use of palm oil is less detrimental to the environment, it is more detrimental to the rainforest. The rainforests of Indonesia are suffering because their trees are being sacrificed for the good of the environment. This is tough situation because while we want to protect the environment by using palm oil, we are destroying the rainforests of Indonesia. When you think about it, once the rainforests of Indonesia are destroyed, the world is facing a problem because the each rainforest is important to the world. In my opinion, palm oil should not be used as much because it is going to eventually pose a problem for the world.
