Catfight!
Mmmmm. Love it when factions of the Left get down and dirty. In a carbon-neutral way, of course.
This one is a three-way oil wrestling match!
Whoa already. Are we sure this isn't The Onion? No, just perfect self-parodying commies.
Hmmm. I thought the whole point of biofuel was to stop "releasing huge amounts of greenhouse gases"? Apparently not.
GSA has been in the vanguard of every leftist and lesbian campaign since the 1970s.
Folks, we have a three-way grudge match! Bio Diversity, Bio Fuel, and Bio Boxa Thinmints in the oil pit today! Getcherrrrr tickets here! Pick up some fronds and coconuts and 'tang poop at the concession stand, so you can wave your faves and bonk the bad guys! ¶ 8:54 AM
This one is a three-way oil wrestling match!
Four years ago, Rhiannon Tomtishen and Madison Vorva
Whoa already. Are we sure this isn't The Onion? No, just perfect self-parodying commies.
started studying orangutans for a Girl Scouts project. What they learned inspired them to start a campaign to raise awareness of the damage that palm plantations are causing the great apes.
"I liked them at first because they are such a cute animal," says Rhiannon, 15. "But they are also helpless. Their rain forest, their home, is being cleared for these palm oil plantations and they have no say in it."
In two decades, companies have cut down millions of acres of rain forest to plant palm trees and meet the skyrocketing demand for oil and biofuel. This releases huge amounts of greenhouse gases and shrinks habitat for rare animals like tigers, elephants, rhinoceroses and orangutans.
Hmmm. I thought the whole point of biofuel was to stop "releasing huge amounts of greenhouse gases"? Apparently not.
The girls decided to stop eating food with palm oil in it. That's when they started looking at ingredient lists and learned that Girl Scout cookies are part of the problem.
Rhiannon and Madison have their work cut out for them. For years they have been holding information sessions at their school, recruiting other scouts to their cause, working with environmental groups and talking to lots of media. Their online petition to get palm oil out of Girl Scout cookies has 67,000 signatures.
Finally, a few weeks ago, they got a sit-down meeting with leaders of Girl Scouts of the United States of America. The girls shared their research and urged the leaders to take palm oil out of Girl Scout cookies.

The girls were frustrated to hear that palm oil will stay in the cookies.
Amanda Hamaker, who manages cookie sales for the organization, told them it's too late to change the recipe for next year's cookies.
