EU: Feed people, not cars -- 24 hours left!
Avaaz: Food crops are going up in smoke, trashing rainforests and driving mass starvation.
The European Commission was set to announce a halt to this dangerous
trend this Wednesday, but instead corporate lobbyists have all but
convinced the EU to burn more food and we have only hours to stop them. Send an urgent message, in English or any other European language, to EU President Barroso now using the form on the right -- below are some suggestions on what to say:
- European biofuel use is driving up food prices in a world where almost a billion people already go hungry.
- Instead
of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, EU biofuel policy is making them
worse by clearing rainforests - but the EU does not even count this
major source of emissions in its carbon calculations.
- It is
time to call a halt to this madness. The EU should immediately get rid
of biofuels that make climate change worse by releasing more greenhouse
gases than fossil fuels, and act now to end the use of crops as fuel.
