Okay. First the business part. Twolia (the company I blog for) is shutting down for a few months to reorganize. They will be shutting down their blogging section. So it’s a very good thing that I recently bought the domain, Livinveg.com. It’s not live yet, but it will be some time next week. That’s right. I’m going independent! I’m oddly excited. I’ll provide more details soon.

Now for Take Action Friday: Since yesterday was earth day, I think it makes sense that today the take action should be for this big blue beauty we all live on.

Tell General Mills that their cereals are not worth the destruction of the rain forest. And if you buy General Mills products, consider stopping so you aren’t supporting deforestation in Indonesia, Malaysia and Papua New Guinea.

Here is the scoop:

In the last five years, demand for palm oil by U.S. companies like General Mills has tripled, resulting in the clearing and burning of rainforests for palm oil plantations. This has put Indigenous and forest-dependent people in jeopardy, as well as endangered species like orangutans, Sumatran tigers and elephants.
