#Change is made in small rooms, quiet moments, and brave conversations. Every idea shared and every action taken can ripple into something powerful.

As representatives from across the globe meet in Brazil for this year's #COP30, the discussions about the global bioeconomy will take center stage. Read our latest blog to learn what the bioeconomy is and how it could #greenwash dirty energy like #biomass.

@ec.europa.eu must transition from carbon-intensive trade. Biomass cuts forests, emitting more carbon than coal. We urge delegates to adopt the requests of the Biomass Action Network and stop the deforestation. #COP30 #BigBadBiomass buff.ly/C2cHVeu

Double the #impact to protect Southern forests. Double the investment in #Southern communities. Let’s create a stronger, healthier future for #forests and #communities. Give today! buff.ly/W0Z1kGl

November is Native American Heritage Month! Learn how native tribes are reclaiming ancestral lands through the #LandBack movement. #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth

Our team is gathered for our annual staff planning #retreat, a time to pause, #rest, and reconnect with #nature, with each other, and with our shared purpose. Every laugh, every walk, and every circle of reflection fills us back up so we can keep protecting the #forests we love.

The future is green because of leaders like Naya Black 💚 Recently, our #GulfSouth Project Organizer helped youth understand how #plants and #trees help protect communities from #flooding. They learned why caring for our #environment matters more than ever!

Our next #Ambassador meeting is all about you! Join us online this Wednesday, November 5th, at 4PM ET. We’ll gather to #reflect and appreciate our work together. Then we’ll imagine what comes next. All are #welcome! buff.ly/4uA5Bws

The loss of #trees to rapid #industrial clear-cutting is causing #butterflies to lose their colors as they struggle to adapt to the changing #environment.

An #aluminum refinery is pouring runoff into the #Mississippi River. The toxic runoff has been found to be posing a risk to #communities and local #wildlife.

Thanks to Southwings (@southwings.bsky.social), EPN, Etsuko Kinefuchi (UNCG), and Dr. Treva Gear (@dogwoodalliance.org) saw Georgia's largest wood pellet plants from above. On the ground, we heard from residents about the health impacts they’re experiencing. Communities are speaking out.

#Nature restores and inspires. #ThisWeekend, follow @dannadogwood and Lucia’s lead—slow down, get #outside, and reconnect with the wild places that sustain us. 🌿

A new short documentary by @rachelcarsondc.bsky.social reveals the environmental and community health impacts of industrial wood pellet production done by companies like Drax and Enviva. Watch Now.

We’ve been building something beautiful — together. This fall, our ambassador/#volunteer #community grew deeper roots. Now it’s time to imagine what’s next. 🗓️ November 5 | 4PM EST Join us for our Celebrate + Strategize gathering & look ahead to 2026.

Industrial biomass isn’t clean or green. According to @rachelcarsondc.bsky.social, it’s more carbon-intensive than coal, destroys forests, and harms communities. It’s time to end biomass subsidies & the industry’s expansion. More: buff.ly/qEA5TTO #BackDownBigBiomass

About 40% of U.S. adults say they are “extremely” or “very” concerned about the #environmental impacts of #AI, according to a new poll from The Associated Press and the University of Chicago's Energy Policy Institute.

For years, nearby residents have warned about health risks from #Drax’s wood pellet plants. Now even the workers are speaking out. When both the community and employees say the same thing, it’s time to listen. It’s not just dust — it’s people’s lives. buff.ly/pgOIBFD

#Leaves are falling, and each one tells a story 🍂 From maple to oak, every leaf shows how diverse and beautiful our #forests are. Pause to notice the shapes, colors, and patterns beneath your feet; protecting forests means protecting all the life they hold.

The people of #Gloster, #MS, have spoken again and again: they deserve clean air and peace. Instead, Drax got permission to pollute more. Our communities deserve better. Read the truth behind the Drax #lies: buff.ly/YJtE5Gc

Next year marks 30 years of Dogwood Alliance, and our wish is to break Big Bad Biomass. We’re fighting for forests & wetlands. Every gift today is matched up to $25K: buff.ly/PYlogpx #BigBadBiomass #IDOA #InternationalDayOfAction #IDOA2025

#Gloster MS: Drax’s Amite plant brings toxic air, dust, and noise. #MDEQ fined it many times. MDEQ denied a permit to pollute more, Drax appealed, and now MDEQ reversed course to allow higher emissions. Tell Drax to clean up: buff.ly/kbcxQuD #BigBadBiomass #IDOA

International Day of Action on #BigBadBiomass continues! We’re celebrating community power & land justice with the Pee Dee Indian Tribe & New Alpha CDC — conserving 400+ acres. But wild lands are still under attack as the #RoadlessRule faces rollback. buff.ly/0dbxrhz

The #UK, #SouthKorea, and the #Netherlands are cutting biomass subsidies - but in the US, #logging is expanding. Sign the petition to urge lawmakers to stop funding #forest destruction and protect our communities. buff.ly/sFIQStO

#BigBadBiomass Burns Billions of public money, hurts the #climate and #nature, while masquerading as renewable energy. Read more buff.ly/aad9KgI

Subsidized industrial #BigBadBiomass production is destroying natural forests and polluting local communities. Read more in the latest report from @environmentalpaper.bsky.social: buff.ly/aad9KgI

The aim of the International Day of Action on #BigBadBiomass is to amplify the destructive impacts of biomass energy on people and planet, like this article "Burning More Forests Won't Cool the Planet" by BAN Coordinator Peg Putt, featured in Hobart news today. environmentalpaper.org/2025/08/idoa...

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. buff.ly/YuekKQ5

Celebrate International Day of Action on Big Biomass with us. Demand accountability from Enviva - the world's largest wood pellet producer - now operating with less oversight, but the same harmful pollution. Sign the petition: buff.ly/IRdA6mf #BigBadBiomass #IDOA

#Trees do more than give us air. They hold the soil, slow #floods, & keep #communities safe. See how our Gulf South Project Organizer, Naya Black, inspires the next generation to protect what protects us. 💚 🎥 IG: sophiaknight.productions

The community of Gloster, MS, is continuing to fight back against Drax's #airpollution. Residents have announced a #lawsuit against the #biomass giant for its years of harm. buff.ly/cTbXXq1

As #datacenters for #AI continue to be built across the Southeastern U.S., their demand for water and energy take a toll on residents living near them. www.npr.org/2025/10/14/n...

Happy #Friday, y’all! Take a moment today to breathe deep, step #outside, and remember what we’re fighting for: clean air, thriving #forests, & #healthy communities. Every action you take for nature makes a difference. Let’s carry that hope into the weekend and beyond. 💚

Imagine fighting for your community’s #health and being attacked by the same corporation #polluting it. Their lawyers even reviewed activists’ social media. This is unacceptable. We may have lost this round, but the battle isn’t over. buff.ly/FnZaWfg

From Plantation to Promise, the #FreedomLand Community #Forest groundbreaking marked the start of a new chapter for this sacred land. Thank you to the #community and partners whose hearts and hands made this moment real.

The importance of #wetlands to our environment can't be overstated. Coastal wetlands such as those in North Carolina provide #carbon storage, which slows the rate of #climate change while providing habitats for wildlife. buff.ly/7NHV6rt

Calling this year's U.N. climate treaty negotiations a "defining business opportunity" is like calling a burning house the perfect fire to roast marshmallows over. It's time to end #BigPolluters' stranglehold over the U.N. climate talks. We demand a polluter-free #COP30!

NCDEQ has finally approved plans to address fugitive #dust #pollution coming from Enviva's #woodpellet plants in Wilmington, NC. The dust from Enviva's plants has caused harm to local communities for almost 15 years, and this is the first step in addressing the ongoing pollution.
