Agrofuel Demo at DECC
Wendesday 15th September, 5.00pm
“Stop subsidising agrofuels and deforestation”
The demonstration was preceded
by a photo-op and handing in of
5,000 signatures (collected by Lush
Cosmetics Stores) against agrofuel subsidies at 1.00 pm.
Our demonstration was at DECC, the government Department of Energy and Climate Change, because they are responsible for classifying 'agrofuels' as a 'renewable energy' and supporting the rapid increase in their use with "Renewable Obligation Certificates" . See above our spoof photo-op where Chris Huhne, (Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change) is handing a "Deforestation Certifcate" to W4B the company that intends to build an agrofuel power station at Portland, site of our National Demonstration against Agrofuels - and also Bristol.
