Growing concern over the world's disappearing natural habitats isn't a distant problem, and there are easy ways consumers can take a stand.
A new video released by environmental activists explores the issue of palm oil, which is found in half of all the products we buy -- from cookies to shampoos -- and is linked to the destruction of one of the world's most important tropical rainforests.
The video is a result of a collaboration between the filmmakers of "Racing Extinction ," a documentary which examined the global extinction crisis, and the Rainforest Action Network, an environmental group based in San Francisco which is encouraging people to get involved in the palm oil fight.
