Destroying rainforests is no way to protect the environment

The Daily Echo is quite right to raise concerns about the use of palm oil in the Council's plans for providing a new heating scheme for Millbrook.

The planned scheme will use combined heat and power with the advantages that this provides cheap heating for residents and reduces CO2 omissions.

However it can't be right to achieve environmental benefits here if at the same time we are destroying rainforests and threatening endangers species in other parts of the world.
