Scot Quaranda, Dogwood’s “Our Forests Aren’t Fuel” Campaign Director, gives his first update from Europe as he strives to change hearts and minds on biomass sustainability to protect Southern US forests from being clearcut, shipped to Europe, and burned for electricity.
Biofuelwatch has launched a new report, Biomass: the Chain of Destruction, focusing on the human and environmental costs of biomass-focused UK renewable energy policy.
“Our Forests Aren’t Fuel” organizer Tom Llewellyn represents Dogwood Alliance at Power Shift.
Dogwood along with other allied groups call for an end to dirty biomass tax subsidies.
Since Dogwood Alliance launched the “Our Forests Aren’t Fuel” campaign a few months ago nearly 20,000 of you have sent messages and letters to the CEO’s of Enviva, Drax and Dominion Power, the main culprits burning trees to generate electricity. You rock! Combine your letters with the flurry of news stories over the past few weeks in North Carolina and Europe, and we’ve clearly gotten the attention of the major players.
