Coach from Bristol
There will be a coach from Bristol to the National Demonstration Against Agrofuels in Portland, at the gates of the port where W4B plan to build an agrofuel power station which will burn palm oil from South-east Asia. This is the same company that is planning to build an even larger such power station at Avonmouth. The coach will be leaving from Anchor Road in Bristol at 10am and to return will leave Portland at 6pm.
National Demonstration Against Agrofuel Subsidies - Portland, Dorset - Saturday, 25th September

If W4B get to build their two proposed power stations in Portland and Avonmouth, they will be burning 1.3 times as much palm oil as is used in all UK biofuels at present. They were given planning permission for the Portland power station earlier this year, despite strong local protests. There is a very active local campaign group against those plans in Dorset - NOPE (No Oil Palm for energy). The national demonstration, will show support for this important local campaign and call for an end to the agrofuel subsidies which are behind W4B's and similar plans.

The demonstration is jointly organised by Campaign Against Climate Change, NOPE, Biofuelwatch and Food not Fuel. For more information, including a timetable for Saturdday, see www.campaigncc.org .

The Bristol coach will leave Anchor Road at 10am (see http://www.at-bristol.org.uk/gettinghere.html ). The cost will be £15.- to £20 return, depending on numbers, with discounts for students/unwaged. To find out more or to book a ticket, please email biofuelwatch@ymail.com.
