Sustainable Sweets

This Halloween—and every day—choose certified sustainable palm oil. Found in everything from snacks to soap, conventional palm oil drives habitat loss, so your choices make a real difference for wildlife. Check out this palm-oil friendly candy guide for sustainably sweet treats for your trick-or-treaters! Learn more about the palm oil crisis and how to shop responsibly.

Hey, Kids!

Send a letter to Tootsie Roll industries urging them to use forest-friendly palm oil in their candies. Take action for forest-friendly candy!
