On July 15th, Rettet den Regenwald (Rainforest Rescue) and more than 20 supporters demonstrated against Lufthansa's first flight with so-called biofuels on Hamburg Airport.
The event was triggered by Lufthansa's first take off with a mixture of kerosene, vegetable oils and animal fats. However, when we make fuel out of plants, we heat up the earth, because tropical forests and savannas are cleared to create plantations.

Lufthansa’s green claims don’t fly
A new danger is descending on tropical forests — deforestation by the airline industry. In the guise of environmental protection, airlines want to start taking off with jatropha, camelina and palm oil. Both of which are harvested from plantations created by cutting down trees and driving local farmers from their land. Lufthansa has taken a pioneering role. On July 15, the first Airbus 321 to use the so-called biofuel is scheduled to take off.
