Please joint a protest agianst government subsidies for 'renewable energy' (ROCs) going to agrofuels. Agrofuels cause more deforestation, more climate change, more hunger and more indigenous peoples and other communities losing their land and livelihood. Yet the government will pay twice as much subsidy for 1 MW from burning, say, palm oil or soya, compared to 1 MW from wind.
