Procrastination

While we here at #worldsuckless are no experts on procrastination or ways to prevent it, we thought we should share an approachable and easy to follow look into why we procrastinate. The video isn't too long either so don't wait just watch!

Why we procrastinate by Vik Nithy @TEDxYouth

Palm Oil is an oil derived from the fruits of the Oil Palm tree. Where this oil is most commonly being produced; Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines, it's plantations are not only destroying rainforests and pushing Orang-utans into extinction, but are also exploiting extremely poor workers. Many workers flee from the city to travel off to giant Oil Palm plantations run by multi-national corporations. They are paid below the already low minimum wages and close to 25% of the workforce are children who get paid next to nothing. If this isn't already enough to turn you off of the oil, Orang-utans are murdered in the process, small farms are taken over with little compensation and the governments push for and support this giant Corporate industry. Palm Oil is in everything from your food (ie chocolate) to your cosmetics. There is pushback though, and this can stop, but only if you as well as other like-minded rational individuals employ the same caring and support for ending an industry responsible for deplorable atrocities.
