Email alert: Stop more deforestation biofuels and peat burning as 'green energy'
04-01-2007 11:23
On 10th January, the European Commission is expected to make a final decision on the European Biomass Plan. There are serious concerns that they will promote ever more biofuels from palm oil, soya and sugar cane linked to rainforest destruction, peat drainage, biodiversity losses and, in some cases, human rights abuses. There is even pressure on them to class and supoort peat as a source of 'renewable biomass'. Please write to the European Commission today to express concerns.Want to get involved in the Camp for Climate Action 2007? Meet up 9th January
