Over the years, Dogwood’s campaigns have been very successful at putting pressure on corporations and getting previously unthinkable results. But we knew that even with partners like NRDC and the support of over 70 organizations, we were going to need partners in Europe to take on European utility companies like DRAX and their US suppliers like Enviva.
Because Dogwood Alliance is solution-oriented and envisions a clean energy future using the power of wind, solar and conservation and efficiency, we have partnered with Geostellar, America’s first and largest online solar marketplace.
Some of the largest forest industry lobby organizations, including the National Alliance of Forest Owners and the US Wood Pellet Industrial Association are organizing a coordinated effort to counter Dogwood Alliance and NRDC’s work to stop the large-scale burning of Southern forests for electricity.
Demonstrators outside the annual general meeting of Drax Plc organized by Biofuelwatch are chanting “Drax Drax, what do you say? How many trees have you killed today?” and holding banners reading “Big Biomass: Fuelling Deforestation, Land-grabbing and Climate Disaster”, “Big Biomass is Greenwash not Renewable Energy” and “Drax the Destroyer!”
Dogwood partner, Geostellar, is a sustainable energy network taking the fight against climate change and high utility bills nationwide.
