#ForestsAreNotFuel #BigBadBioEnergy

New research proves Drax is sourcing old growth to burn and the BC government is signing off on it It’s time for us to hold this government accountable and make sure that the promises to protect BC’s old growth forests are actually kept. Let’s flood their inboxes with letters about this new researc...

Join us in calling on Eby and Parmar to protect old growth and end subsidies to Drax and the forest biomass sector: bit.ly/takeactionforbiomass

Massachusetts lights the path for forests and climate A transparent and science-based process developed meaningful recommendations for modern forest management

Massachusetts has officially become the first state in the U.S. to recognize that burning forest biomass increases emissions compared to fossil fuels—ultimately removing biomass plants from the list of technologies eligible to receive renewable energy subsidies! 🙌

Concerned about our environment! Did you know that #Enviva, the top biomass wood pellet producer, devastates 175,000 acres of Southern forests annually? #Drax's facilities in MS and LA exceed air pollution limits, posing a toxic legacy. #BigBadBiomass #BigBadBioenergy #LookBiden

PBL Dutch biomass report slammed by ENGOs | Dogwood Alliance Today’s publication of a long-awaited biomass report by the Netherlands PBL has been greeted with alarm by international environmental organizations

Large-scale burning of wood for energy is incompatible with limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees. @nlenvironagency must heed scientists’ and civil society’s calls to end biomass subsidies. No more #BigBadBioenergy!

Be a part of the international streaming #premiere of @BURNEDTheMovie on @LinkTV on March 18! #BigBadBioenergy companies are cutting down our forests for #Biomass while pushing a FALSE narrative that it is a renewable energy - watch with us to see through the #BiomassDelusion.

The French Gov. might convert coal plants such as #Cordemais to #BigBadBioenergy. 47 international organisations urge for reconsideration - why invest in EDF’s unproven #Ecocombust project instead of real renewables for climate leadership? #Stand4Forests

Biomass Threat Map 1. Global supply of and demand for forest biomass is predicted to increase more than 250% over the next decade, having already doubled in the last ten years.

New data reveals shocking 250% growth planned in forest bioenergy industry - with a high price for the world’s forests!#BiomassDelusion #BigBadBioenergy

Scientists just presented a sweeping new estimate of how much humans have transformed the planet "We have forgotten half of the story up to now,” a researcher with a new study says.
