I’m sure most people are aware that BioFuels are not eco friendly. In a frightening Times article titled The Clean Energy Scam it’s clear ethanol is not a sustainable path.

Bio fuels make sense in very small quantities. Big Corp has turned them into Agrofuels, the savior to our oil dependent economies. Non-sustainable liquid gold is running out and their savagery is undeniable and consequences irreversible.

What the Gov and Big Gas Co don’t realize is once we’re all aware of the destruction we’ll refuse to fill up with ethanol, stop buying from business who use it and wont’ buy products made with it. They’re in for a big slap in the face.

Not eating foods that come in boxes is another way you can choose to appose this movement. All these multi ingredient containing man-made foods often include soybean oil which are now used to replace trans-fat. Start eating real food again.

People are more connected and knowledgeable than ever. I thought it was clear we no longer wanted short term solutions.

86,400 football fields of rainforest per day are destroyed.

I hear congress talking about biofuels constantly. Who’s benefiting?

BioFuels or Agrofuels are the creation of large agribusiness corporations. They’re not green or sustainable.

South America, southeast Asia and Indonesia are clearing land and deforestation is rampant. They use massive amounts of herbicides and pesticides on their crops polluting the water system.

Substituting just 10% cent of fossil fuels to biofuels for all our vehicles would require about 40 per cent of the entire cropland in Europe and North America according to www.davidsuzuki.org.

That’s not even considering the energy requirements to produce some biofuels and the greenhouse gas emissions emitted from these plants. So enough with biofuels already.

Cargill, Archer Daniels Midland and Bunge are benefiting and are partially responsible for this global catastrophe.
