Last month Greenpeace launched a campaign for rigorous controls on biofuels because while biofuels could make a small contribution in the battle against climate change, it could in fact do more harm than good.

If rainforests are cut down to make way to grow 'green fuels', it will not only destroy homes for animals like the orang-utans, it will also be catastrophic for the climate releasing more greenhouse gases by destroying forests than we will save using biofuels.

Greenpeace would like to send letters to the transport minister, Stephen Ladyman, as part of the government's consultation on biofuels, you can do this here:  http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/blog/climate/choose-the-right-biofuel-or-the-orang-utan-gets-it-now-on-video-20070606
