A Cheesy Love Story - The Ad Doritos Don't Want You to See


http://action.sumofus.org/a/doritos-video/?akid=8939.3522613.4Zud5j&modal=false&rd=1&t=4

Already shared the video? Then please sign the petition to PepsiCo if you haven't already: http://action.sumofus.org/a/doritos-palm-oil/

Rainforests across Southeast Asia are being destroyed every day to make way for massive palm oil plantations, where workers, even children, are trapped in modern slavery to cultivate the vegetable oil. The clearing of these rainforests and peatlands are driving many species like the orangutan and Sumatran tiger to the brink of extinction, while also polluting the Earth's atmosphere by releasing gigatons of greenhouse gases.

Each year, PepsiCo buys 427,500 tonnes of palm oil. Given how high profile the Doritos Super Bowl campaign is, we're using this opportunity to let consumers around the world know about PepsiCo's irresponsible palm oil sourcing policy. there's never been a better time to spread the message and make friends, family and colleagues aware of PepsiCo's practices.

You wouldn’t love it if you knew what it was made from.
Tell Doritos and PepsiCo to adopt a responsible palm oil policy, and save our rainforests: http://smarturl.it/Doritos

Some Doritos flavours contain palm oil. Doritos' parent company, PepsiCo, buys 427,500 tonnes of palm oil every year. Palm oil production destroys rainforest and threatens species to the point of extinction.

This deforestation results in the death of over 1,000 Sumatran orangutans every year. This is the ad that Doritos don't want you to see in 'Doritos Crash The Superbowl 2015.'
