They are taking a stand and acting on their beliefs. All we need now are thousands of other girls with the same clarity of thought and steadfast determination. My organization, Orangutan Outreach, is dedicated to saving wild orangutans and making people aware of the palm oil crisis. We often have a difficult time getting our point across to corporations that use palm oil. When the message comes from girls like Madison and Rhiannon, it is especially powerful. I honestly believe that the company that produces the Girl Scouts' cookies will listen to them. Let's just hope they are willing to act on it and eliminate the evil palm oil from their cookies!
