That "Rob Peter to pay Paul" culture should vanish from the world in managing the natural resources. There are millions of wasted lands of Earth which are devoid of vegetation. These areas should be utilized for oil palm plantation or any plantation to meet genuine human needs in the world. It is unfair if not unethical to replace the existing existing green cover of the Earth for the purpose of promoting oil palm plantations. The same principle is applicable for biofuel plantations as well. Monoculture in large scale would create an ecological disasters in future.

Yes.. But we can also ask that if we did not produce/consume palm oil, does it affect to our quality of life?
How much does it affect against effect of forest logging for human need?
Now it is the time to think that kind of questions.
