DeforestAction: Project Borneo

Hi guys,
Not sure if this is much help, but when I was uploading my video and photos using Internet Explorer I kept having problems but when I used Mozilla Firefox it worked straight away. Could just be my computer being weird though...not sure.
Hope this helps! :)

Hey Folks,

I clicked the "Upload from your YouTube," account and the box opened and closed really quickly and selected a random clip from my YouTube account (likely a draft version of my submission). Is there anyway I can go in and delete it so I can submit my real video?

Thanks! And best of luck to you all!

Hi Steve,

The submission wasn't fully submitted. You should be able to go back in and select the correct video. Not sure what happened - but it could be an issue with your browser.

If you have problems, please e-mail us with your YouTube video link and your TIG Username - deforestaction (at) takingitglobal.org

Natalie and Danielle - I checked and it looks like both of you were successfully able to add your Avatars :)

Hey ladies (and gents if you're interested!) I found a great Australian cosmetics company www.inika.com.au that are committed to using Palm Oil Free products, or assured 100% sustainably produced palm oil in their goods. YAY!!! :)

Thank you, Micheal. I think it should be all set now. Just waiting on the ~48 hour review period now :)

I have linked my youtube acc to my TIG account, however it now says fatal link and everytime i try and go further this message comes up and it redirects me to a blank. hellllp! i'm already coming into this late! I only just discovered it!

headed into work to do some publicity photos for 2 news papers I'll send the links out after they are published.

This is really confusing me if anyone can help..when I log into this page while at work, the countdown to submissions above says 5 days...and the black strip panel to the right of the page is completely blank..whereas when I log into TIG at home on my computer...the countdown says 7 days remaining, and the black strip panel has heaps of info available, like the closing date for submissions etc. I just can't work it out?!!! :) Fleur

Hey Danielle :) Good question! I just looked up their site and found a similar question in their FAQ's - follow this link: http://www.inika.com.au/inika-faq.htm
:)

Hey Fleur I have the exact same issue! And also my computer at home doesn't come up with the "edit submission" section...Does your work have certain sites blocked? Ps thanks so much for the make-up info! :-)

Hi mfurdyk my profile picture was set, but with a picture that I didn't select! and also it wasn't showing up in this section (on the left). Now I have tried to change it and in the "crop image" section it kept giving me an error message. Can you help???

Hey Nattymac,no probs :) Isn't that bizarre! It used to work fine at work, so I just can't figure it out now how it's just not visible anymore...I can access any website at work so don't think it's blocked... so so so weird.... :)

hey flirtini inika is great! there is also another newer brand of palm oil free in australia called evohe! www.evohe.com.au

I am however STILL having trouble with my application :(
I am thinking my chances are getting slimmer and slimmer. also the countdown says monday but the video and the site say friday!

Hey Sian, yes I'm also aware of Evohe, they are awesome too!!! thanks for reminding me :) and good luck xo

Hey guys. Just on the subject of Palm Oil Free products. Check out the link http://www.orangutans.com.au/Orangutans-Survival-Information/About-Palm-Oil.aspx It has a list of Palm Oil Free Products, including things like Laundry Products, Shampoo's, Frozen Foods etc etc. It also provides other useful information on the subject. I'm sure you'll find it as educational as I did the first time I read it :)

thanks Julie :)

that site is awesome julie thanks! ethicalconsumer.com is also always a good one ;)
so I downloaded mozilla and it said sucessfully entered. should i have received a confirmation email or something?
there is no way to tell that it has actually worked this time :/
fingers crossed!

yeah Thanks a heap Julie great site

Hi everyone,

The countdown timer is based on your computer's time - so if the time on your computer is set wrong, or in a different time zone, it may not appear correctly. However, Submissions are closing at midnight on March 18th!

If you've got artwork or photos related to the environment and climate change, I also want to encourage you to submit to our Imprints Art Contest, part of our Tread Lightly program:

thanks Mfurdyk for that info..so my computer must have some glitches! It's been ill lately :( So that means voting is open until midnight Fri 18th March?? :) Fleur

Re: Palm Oil Free cosmetics. I work as a casual at The Body Shop, who don't use palm oil, are environmentally friendly, fair trade most of the ingredients for their products, don't use animal testing and campaign for human rights. It's not just tripe either, the amount of money that goes to charity and the numerous petitions and campaigns we're involved in is fantastic.

Everything in The Body Shop is vegetarian, but not all vegan as their is some beeswax and honey in some products.

Also, I just remembered we ran a campaign in late 2009 in the shop in conjunction with WSPA called "Miracle Treatment" that raised money and gained awareness about the plight of the orangutans!

Great submissions, everybody. Best of luck to each of you!

Attention Sydney-siders!
There is a Protest Rally this weekend against the use of Palm Oil and a call for adequate labelling.
It's at 11am-2pm this Saturday in Hyde Park.
For more details, visit http://www.palmoilaction.org.au/
See you there!

Kudos to everyone, i hope to potentially work with some of you guys in the future.
