The 300-350 Show: Agrofuels and Climate Camp Preview
First Broadcast: 31 July 2008
Featuring:
- Deepak Rughani (Biofuelwatch)
- Connor O'Brien (Camp for Climate Action)
Biofuels have been condemned as a crime against humanity by the outgoing UN Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Jean Zeigler. We find out why agrofuels have been responsible for food riots and increasing hunger around the globe as well as being a false solution to the problem of climate change.
Plus: Ahead of this year's Camp for Climate Action, we speak to Connor O'Brien about their plans for sustainable living, education, and shutting down the coal-fired power station at Kingsnorth in Kent.
