Ask European politicians to vote against biofuel targets

" European Union policies are creating an artificial market in
biofuels, which is leading to large-scale destructive investment
across the world.
Now, the EU is debating plans to expand biofuels by increasing the
mandatory biofuel target to 10%% by 2020, and two committees of the
European Parliament will be voting on those proposals during July.
Two recent studies show that virtually all agrofuels result in higher
greenhouse gas emissions than the fossil fuels they replace.

EU biofuel targets and incentives are already threatening communities,
rainforests and other ecosystems, food security and the climate.
The Members of European Parliament (MEPs) must vote against biofuel
targets and instead support an immediate EU moratorium on agrofuels
from large-scale monocultures.

Please ask MEPs to vote against biofuel targets and support an
agrofuel moratorium..."

You included one word too many there. Let me rewrite it: "One day
you'll shock us all by having a thought".

There, that's better.
