Title:
Choose the right biofuel or the orang-utan gets it

Description:
http://www.greenpeace.org.uk/biofuels : While biofuels could make a small contribution in the battle against climate change, it could in fact do more harm than good. If rainforests are cut down to make way to grow 'green fuels', it will not only destroy homes for animals like the orang-utans, this will also be catastrophic for the climate releasing more greenhouse gases from destroying forests than will be saved by using biofuels.
