Not only does clearcutting US forests, turning them into pellets, and shipping them to Europe to be burned for electricity have a grievous cost for our climate, but it also destroys the habitat of the South’s rich and biodiverse plant and animal ecosystems.
Last month we released our first investigative video in support of the Our Forests Aren’t Fuel campaign: Wetlands Up in Smoke. The short film featuring a wide variety of voices documents the growing impact of the wood pellet industry on our Forests, community and climate.
Come on out and drink delicious, hand-crafted, local beer at Hi-Wire Brewing on Thursday, January 16th. All that day and evening, Hi-Wire will be donating a percentage of proceeds to Dogwood Alliance to help protect our Southern forests!
