Protest to the media over EU biofuel!
Diet Simon - 10.03.2007 08:58
The mainstream media are having an orgasm over the EU setting itself a 20% green energy target for 2020.
In the pact is a call to have al least 10% biofuel in the fuel mix by then.
That's a climate disaster in the making, or rather an ongoing one.
The European countries cannot grow the feedstock to meet the 10% biofuel target. They will import things like palmoil from Asia and South America. That will destroy rain forests there, impacting severely on climate and robbing already dirt-poor people of their livelihoods. The short formula is: Third World food land for European motor fuel. All as a sop to motor industries not meeting self-set exhaust cleaning targets and the selfish idiots who are junkies to their fast, fuel-guzzling cars.  http://melbourne.indymedia.org/news/2007/03/141279.php
The Google news collating system has been picking the story up big. http://news.google.com/news?ned=au&ncl=1114222317&hl=en. I've spent hours writing roughly the above to editors and newsrooms.
Perhaps you'd like to do something similar? Strength in numbers!
