Greasy Loot: This is the shocking exposé documenting the rape of Indonesian rainforest for palm oil, an ingredient central to make-up and margarine. A story of horrendous abuse, of torture, child labour and corruption at the highest level as we reveal the true cost of the Western world’s desire for cheap palm oil. (Repeat)

Éigniú na Faraoise: Nochtaítear an scannal a bhaineann leis an damáiste a dhéantar d’fhoraoisí báistí chun an ola palm a aimsiú. Tá an ola seo riachtanach chun smidiú agus margairín a dhéanamh. Seo scéal faoi mhí-úsáid, faoi chéasadh, faoi fhostú leanaí agus faoi thruailliú ag an léibhéal is airde. Tugtar chun solais chomh daor is atá sé ola palm a fháil. (Athchraoladh)

Palm oil is not only used in margerine, also used in making biodiesel which is supposed to be environmentally freindly but is in fact speeding up climate change
