Join us TOMORROW at 12 pm ET for a virtual presentation + Q&A on the greenwashed EJ disaster that is the wood pellet industry. You'll hear from experts on the public health, ecological, and climatic consequences its operations hold. Free registration here: bit.ly/3Sw7Gu7
Great news! Enviva is the largest producer of wood pellets in the world. If they’re struggling, so will other companies. It’s not a clean, green, or sustainable industry! Join our fight against this industry to protect our communities and protect our planet.
Media Statement on the future of Enviva.
Wood pellet company, Enviva, announced that its future is in doubt. 10 years of campaigning and uniting in solidarity with communities has led to this moment.

During her many years as a student, Dr. @TrevaGear says that #environmentalracism was never part of the curriculum. Now she fights against pollution after founding Concerned Citizens of Cook County, a grantee of Tides Foundation's Frontline Justice Fund. tides.org/our-community/tide…
Grateful to @SouthWings for arranging our flyover in my hometown of Adel, GA. I was able take aerial photos of polluting industries and their close proximity to the predominate community of color.#EnvironmentalJustice #CivilRights

One year ago, we released our documentary "Abandoned" about Adel, GA & the environmental injustices the community faces. The people of Adel are still fighting to be heard.
Make sure to watch the doc & help us raise awareness about what's happening in Adel! youtu.be/uJKuTDVIqKc
We had to make a seat at the table to protect the health and welfare of our community because the GA Environmental Protection Division did not fulfill its obligation to protect us. #environmentaljustice
A settlement has been reached! Thanks to the hard work of the Concerned Citizens of Cook County (4C) & @selc_org a settlement has been reached with Spectrum Energy Georgia LLC in the operation of a proposed wood pellet plant! southernenvironment.org/pres…

Clean air is a human right. My community is in a real-time fight for environmental justice. Lives are hanging in the balance waiting for justice. #EnvironmentalJustice
Proposed Georgia wood pellet mill at center of environmental fight ajc.com/news/proposed-georgi…
It is critical that we stand together to stop the assault of people, our communities, and our forests by the wood pellet industry.
Community members, #EJ leaders, & activists gathered at #EPA Region 4 Headquarters in #ATL to call for federal oversight of the biomass industry - In response to the unchecked, rapid expansion of the wood pellet #biomass industry in the Southern US.

The fight for environmental justice is real. Join me! #environmentaljustice
Meet Dr. @TrevaGear, a veteran, educator, and community organizer leading the fight against #environmentalinjustice in a small South Georgia town. southernenvironment.org/news…

Southern residents & community leaders, we need you! Let's unite to demand healthy communities, #ForestProtection & #EnvironmentalJustice. Meet us at EPA Region 4 headquarters on Fri. Oct 21st 11 am - 2 pm EST. #RallyOnEPA bit.ly/rallyonepa
This is the TRUTH!! #CleanAir
Replanting trees doesn't restore the forest ecosystem that brings health to nearby communities.
Burning biomass produces LOTS of health damaging air pollution, and by design is mostly located in black and brown communities.
#HealthyAirIsHealthCare #CleanAir
One real-time issue is in Adel, GA. The fight to protect the health of our communities is real.
Producing and burning biomass, biodiesel, and other biofuels creates health-damaging air pollution and GHG. They are false solutions and perpetuate environmental injustice. We need clean energy and transportation and Justice40 principles! #ClimateIsHealth #HealthyAirIsHealthCare
