DON'T PALM US OFF!

Visit http://www.zoo.org.au/ and sign the petition to legislate to label Palm oil (it is a very unhealthy fat) in food products.

Follow the link to 'Don't Palm Us Off' and cut and paste this answer in the message section.

Please legislate to label plam oil on all food products. I have the right to choose food products that won't destroy Orang-utan habitat. Please give me the choice!

As well as the Orangutans, it is also killing Elephants, Rhino's, Leopards and everything else that lives in the Borneo and Indonesian Rainforests.

Palm oil is usually labeled as 'vegetable oil', which it is not!

As well as food products, it is also in soaps, shampoos and toothpastes and many more household products.

Help save them and help save us. read more at http://www.zoo.org.au/

Please Don't Palm Us Off.

They gave away that red Brubaker 'Brute' Bass there (the one on the stage).

Victor played 'Amazing Grace' on it.

Guess who won it??

Victor politley signed the headstock after the photo was taken for me :D

It's a mighty fine bass too!

At the start of the night I asked Victor if he could sign this bass body too, a bass I'm working on.

Now some words from AOP:

"33,776 hectares of forest in Sumatra under threat
19/4/2009

Many of you may be aware of the current media coverage surrounding a proposal by timber giant, Asia Pulp & Paper, to clear 33,776 hectares of forest in Bukit Tigapuluh, Sumatra, Indonesia. This devastating proposal will severely endanger the 100 orangutans released in the park to date via the Bukit Tigapuluh Sumatran Orangutan Reintroduction Project – the only reintroduction site for this critically endangered species.

We are calling for immediate support on this issue. Please write letters to Asia Pulp & Paper executives requesting a withdrawal of its proposal - and encourage as many people as you can to do the same. To make it easy a letter template and the executives' contact details are available at http://www.orangutan.org.au/writetoapp

Your protest can make a difference!

Thank you for your help and support.

Send one to each person if you can.

Love ya!

Remember, don't eat anything with palm oil, unless it's stated that it's from a sustainable crop. It is sometimes also wrongly named as 'vegetable oil'.
It makes you fat.

Where the wild things are

Bound to be the best film, well my favourite anyway, this year.
