Greenpeace campaign; biofuels and deforestation

[applelight]

Greenpeace, along with a number of other environmental groups have launched this campaign to raise awareness of the potentially detrimental effects of bio fuel in terms of deforestation and loss of habitat: Choose the right biofuel or the orang-utan gets it - now on video | Greenpeace UK

It is amazing what can appear green which in reality has very counterproductive elements. It also poses a number of questions:

Is it getting harder to be green now more corporate interest has been shown towards green as a more commercial benefit?

Is it more marketing now than actual achievement?

How do we know what’s really green and the down sides to these products?

Hi applelight,

Welcome to the forum.

Thanks for letting us know about this video and campaign. I hope Greenpeace can raise as much awareness as possible.

Best of luck.
