Nothing scares us more than watching American forests cut and shipped overseas to burn. That’s why we work at the national level to protect forests, support impacted communities, & fight industrial biomass expansion. https://t.co/aRdcjFoYrv #BackDownBigBiomass

When we destroy the natural world, we destroy the systems that sustain us. Protecting nature is protecting ourselves. Join us in protecting our forests: https://t.co/ECAaCm7Esp #BackDownBigBiomass

Once a defining feature of eastern U.S. forests, the American chestnut was nearly wiped out by an invasive blight in the early 20th century. This essay reflects on how profound remembering what we’ve lost can be. Read the full essay: https://t.co/jkCMtz3QYd

Industrial biomass isn’t green. Our report shows it’s more carbon-intensive than coal, destroys forests, & harms communities. It’s time to end biomass subsidies & the industry’s growth: https://t.co/9DuFMdqoPA #BackDownBigBiomass

The Brown Pelican was nearly lost to DDT contamination but recovered after the pesticide’s ban. Now thriving along our coasts, it’s a living reminder of why protecting wildlife and ecosystems matters. #BirdOfTheWeek: https://t.co/oKufeVtnxy

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. https://t.co/ZqITmAitYq

Missed this week #BirdOfTheWeek? It’s probably because this week’s bird is elusive! Found only on Alaska’s western coast or on remote St. Matthew or Hall Islands, McKay's Buntings are members of the Passerine family. More: https://t.co/oKufeVtnxy #Birdwatching #Birds
