Morning all,

Good to see that biofuels are still on the news agenda - they should be, what with how they can contribute to climate change and increase global hunger!

There's an interesting piece featured on the Reuters UK, EU drafts reveal biofuel's 'environmental damage' which discusses the impact of biofuels on climate change as well as how they take up land which would otherwise be used for crops. Also, it points out that biofuels are not good for species like Orangutans, which is another hard hitting effect of the biofuels 'greenwash'.

So go on, take a look at the article and remind yourself why biofuels should not be part of the UK's renewable energy targets.  Then, if you haven't already, email the Department For Transport asking them to stop the use of biofuels in UK transport.
