German government funds Lufthansa partnership with leading palm oil agrofuel producer

Please all sign this petition! Lufthansa is planning on using palm oil on their planes between Hamburg and Frankfurt!! Most of the palm oil comes from IOI and the state government of Sarawak (Borneo) has just announced plans for another ONE MILLION HECTARES of rainforest to be cut down for oil palms and IOI is one of the main investors in this expansion.

To make it crystal clear, one million hectares is approximately the size of Cyprus, half the size of Wales and third of Belgium (and one tenth of Iceland)!
