As part of the week long demonstation organised by biofuel watch, protesters decended on Tesco at Stroud. Over two hundred leaflets were handed out to Tesco shopper sover the weekend to highlight what Tesco's biofuel is doing to the rainforests.

A key part of the protest was to collect names of people who would volunteer to send a presentation to Tesco's senior management to ask how they justify tearing down the rainforests for biofuel

The presentation is already on mass circulation, with many peope protesting directly to Tesco by forwarding the presentation on to Tescos chairman, Terry Leahy. Tesco have already started issuing replies, and have now confirmed that they do in fact use palm oil in their biofuel. They then go on to claim that the biofuel is grown sustainably, but can not define what sustainability is. They say that it can be audited to ensure it is sustainable but can not provide any audit documents. They say science shows that the tropics are the best place to grow biofuel, but can not quote any science. Sounds to me like it is not sustainable, they have no audit documents and don't know what they are talking about.

Do join in the pressure. Down the load the presentation, send it around your address book, and most importantly send it to Terry Leahy and ask him to explain why.
