Pix-&-Vidz of the Palm Oil Rush – Wed 01 Jul 09
Dateline: Millennium Hotel, Mayfair, London, UK, 19:00, Wed 01 Jul 09 – Inside the hotel, rich and powerful men in suits attend the Agri Invest Congress gala dinner, a forum for producers and investors of agro-fuels decide which bits of the rainsforest should next be carved out to make room for palm oil plantations and other agro-fuels. Beyond the serried ranks of Met Police rozzers, outside the hotel in Grosvenor Square, scores of concerned citizens picnic, party and protest against this dire threat to provoke even worse catastrophic climate change, and against the continued destruction of the ever-dwindling habitat of our cousin great apes, the orangutans.
