under the last term and a half we have watched the governors office become more corrupt and irresponsible. from too many raises, too abuse of privilege. She has only taken care of her own special interests. we are loosing business' and the youth that is our future in ct. the greatest observance of this is when she is raising the budget of the governors mansion, for remodeling when the state of CT's budget is in the Red and when she wants to cut important services such as Lifestar emergency helicoptor service. We need change to bring us into the future not greed and irresponsibility that is destroying this beautiful state

Please stop the destruction of Indonesia's beautiful forests.....the plants and animals and people/cultures that are being destroyed through deforestation and palm oil plantations took millions of years to evolve into their present beautiful and diverse forms.....many of the trees being felled took hundreds of years to grow.....please stop this madness.
Surely the world will pass laws and ban palm oil and Indonesian forest products if Indonesia does not reduce and/or stop this destruction on their own..... sacred life is being destroyed and surely we in the world who consume palm oil are partially responsible for this horrific destruction.
Southeast Asia's/Indonesia's rainforest are unique in the world and one of the gems of creation. Unfortunately they are quickly being destroyed with short term profit in mind.....surely these profits are soaked in blood.
We the undersigned in this petition hope the governments/people of the world become more aware of what products contain palm oil and stops and/or reduces their consumption of products/foods containing palm oil to stem this destruction not only in Indonesia but in other areas of the world which recklessly destroy large tracts of tropical forest to grow palm oil.
We also call for governments and food retailers of the world to clearly label food products which contain palm oil to show consumers that the products that they are buying were produced by destroying tropical rainforest on a massive scale and to state that the tropical forest destroyed may not ever be restored to it's original diversity and beauty.....or restored at all.....so that we, the concerned citizens of the world can stop consuming palm oil and being party to this orgy of environmental destuction.
We would rather have these beautiful rainforest stay intact on planet earth.....or what's left of these forests.....so that our daughters and sons might possibly be able to visit Indonesia some day and witness the incredible beauty and ancientness of these ecosystems.....but to destroy these forests so that our daughters or sons can eat candy bars made with palm oil truly seems like madness to us.
There are many other foods and fruits which come from tropical forest which grow and can be harvested naturally without destroying the forest.....surely I would buy those products.....even from Indonesia, if they were readily available and packaged as friendly to the rainforests and wildlife and forest people of Indonesia.
We the undersigned agree with the sentiments of this author and wish for the governments of the world to debate and legislate for better food labelling concerning palm oil content and tropical forest destruction. Read more »
