Description

The Biofuelwatch Yahoo Group allows for the exchange of information about the social and environmental impacts of bioenergy production, as well as about campaign news.

Biofuelwatch works to raise awareness of the negative impacts of industrial biofuels and bioenergy on biodiversity, human rights, food sovereignty and climate change. Based in UK and US, we work with national and international partners to expose and oppose the social and environmental damages resulting from bioenergy-driven increased demand for industrial agriculture and forestry monocultures.

Background information about the organisation, the impacts of biofuel production and campaign news can be found on the Biofuelwatch website, www.biofuelwatch.org.uk . Membership of the Yahoo Group is open to anybody subject to moderation rules - it is not subject to people agreeing with the Biofuelwatch policy.

If you wish to subscribe to email alerts only, not to regular news and discussion, then please opt for 'special notices' under 'your settings'.
