#Drax’s U.K. power station will keep burning wood pellets imported from the Southeastern U.S., where communities face high rates of respiratory diseases due to hazardous air pollution from pellet plants.
We stand in solidarity with those communities in their struggle for justice. #BigBiomass
Our #BigBiomass campaign just hit a major milestone.
Last week, @theguardian.com reported that energy giant Drax will begin reducing the amount of Canadian wood pellets it burns for electricity, and will stop burning trees from British Columbia entirely within the next year.
#GreenSky
Altamaha Green Energy plans to burn 900k+ tons of wood yearly in #Jesup - raising power costs and polluting the air. Celebrate International Day of Action on #BigBiomass with us by speaking up for healthy# forests. Send a message to GA lawmakers today.

Did I mention that I am a #forestadvocate ?
I got a comment piece published locally. The proposed SW Washington #bigbiomass industrial plant will produce to burn woody pellets in coal fired plants in Asia for energy, worse polluting than burning coal for energy.
