Have YOU killed an Orangutan today?

The greens improportional power inside the EU, has made extra demands for bio- diesel and ethanol. The ethanol is mainly made from sugarcanes in South America. There they are chopping down wast areas of rainforest to make new plantages to meet the demand (never mind that you have to use more energy to process and transport the ethanol- than what you get out!). And at the same time killing unknown numbers of species.

At Borneo there is the same thing going on. The forests there is cut down to let room for Palm oil plantations...

[...]

As jungles are rapidly replaced by palm oil plantations, the great apes starve and are hunted, mutilated, burnt and snared by workers protecting their crops.At a rehabilitation centre run by the charity Borneo Orang-utan Survival, there are more than 600, mostly orphaned babies. Lone Nielsen, the centre's director, estimates that for each of the 227 animals they rescued last year, five more were killed in central Borneo alone.

"There are broken bones, cracked skulls, burns, internal injuries," said Miss Nielsen. "The plantation workers beat them because they want to catch them and the only way you can catch an orang-utan is to knock it unconscious."

Funny h0w redgreen thinking and planned echonomy always leads to more pollution and species being eradicated- huh? Look at the soviet union!
