Turning rainforest into aviation fuel!

Dear friends,

The German Lufthansa has published plans for the world's first commercial flights with agrofuel-blends from April 2011 – including palm oil. They have entered into a partnership with Finnish oil and agrofuel company Neste Oil, who have recently opened the world's largest biodiesel refinery in Singapore, which is running exclusively on palm oil, at the expense of rainforests and peatlands, indigenous and other rural communities. Please call on the German government to withdraw their subsidies (2.5 million Euros) for this scheme and demand that Lufthansa calls of their agrofuel flights. To take part in this email action, please go to
