During the bio-diesel expo and conference in Newark there were actions which intrerupted the conference (pieing of BP delegate, lock-on and setting off of rape alrams). Protesters held a banner protest outside the exhibition explaining to delegates why bio-fuels are not the solution. Most expo delegates were interested and agreed with our concerns
