Palm Oil is a costly fossil fuel replacement

Did you know that Indonesia is the third largest emitter of carbon emissions due to logging of the rainforests and draining peatlands? That's crazy, not to say very said actually. And apparently they did it to make money of palm oil that's supposed to power cars. Very interesting article: EPA Rejects Palm Oil: Good News for Indonesian Rainforests

The lesson learnt: We have to stop driving so much, reduce our dependency on the car instead of just trying to replace fossil fuels/ petroleum with something that causes even more damage to the planet or compromises food production. Go ride your bike!
