Passion for Debate
Biofuels: They’ll save the planet. They’ll wreck the planet. You decide.
Biofuels are being suggested as a way to help us cut our carbon emissions and slow climate change. They have their detractors and their supporters. What do you think?
Throughout September Ethical Junction member Passion for the Planet radio will be broadcasting a series of interviews with experts from both camps to explore the pro’s and con’s.
You can listen to the interviews by visiting www.passionfortheplanet.com/biofuels.htm
