Biofuelwatch calls week of action against agrofuels
Biofuelwatch is calling for a national week of action against the agrofuel industry from 26 January to 2 February.
Instead of organising a central protest, Biofuelwatch is encouraging local groups and activists to organise local protests and actions. These actions could include banner protests outside a Tesco or BP petrol station, or an biofuel refinery (the Biofuelwatch website provides a map of such refineries here). Other actions could include leafleting, street theatre in the city centre, press releases and letters to local media, or the screening of films regarding the issue.
Save our trees!
On Sunday May 28th, environmental campaigners set up a tree-top protest camp in Titnore Woods, in Durrington, West Sussex. They are protesting against a planned development including a new Tesco superstore (as if we need more of them in Sussex) and an estate of 875 new houses. The road-widening necessary for the plan will destroy ancient woodland including oak, ash, birch and willow trees.
