Every Little Helps their extinction
Many young shoppers were pleased to see the gorilla, who was not only warm, (unlike the other campaigners), but highlighted the plight of Africa’s rainforest from the Congo to Uganda and the land grab in places like Ghana to grow jatropha - or what industry would like us to think is the good biofuel, when it is anything but. It is interesting to note a week earlier, The Guardian reported that Greenergy (whose boss describes the company as the ‘good guys’) who supply Tesco are looking to Africa to supply sugar cane, due to high demand for Brazilian sugar cane.
One surreal encounter with the general public was with a man who said he had spent two years in the trees that once stood where the Tesco filling station now dispenses biofuel. Over two decades earlier he had been part of a protest that had tried to stop the supermarket being built. He was against biofuels, but not now apparently averse to filling his shopping trolley up.
