<P><BIG>Hi,</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>Forests are the lungs of our planet. They are what keeps our planet
breathing. But they are under attack.</B> [1] Trees are being burned in the EU
to generate what some claim to be ‘renewable energy’. You helped us draw
much-needed attention to this.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Our governments choose to funnel our hard-earned taxes towards burning
forests all over Europe. [2] Millions of trees are being cut down and burned by
the<B> wood-burning industry </B>from Sweden to Finland. From Germany to
Austria. All because wood burning is considered ‘renewable energy’.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>Key Members of the European Parliament have *just* been handed this
important decision on their desks; is burning trees really 'green'?</B> [3] If
they decide the answer is no, funding for burning trees will be a thing of the
past and we could save millions of trees. </BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>But many of them still don’t know what is at stake. </B>[4]<B> This
is our opportunity to tell them, before the wood-burning lobby gets a chance to
control the story:</B> we wouldn’t remove our lungs and we shouldn’t remove our
forests.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>Will you spare a second to share your message that we need to
</B><STRONG>save trees, not burn them, </STRONG><B>now? Using the buttons
below to send a tweet or email can make all the difference. </B></BIG></P>

climate crisis.</B> Replanting trees takes a long time. We simply cannot replace
the trees we burn in the short time we have left to save our planet.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG><B>We know making noise works. Together we have already moved the
powerful Environment Minister of Finland.</B> She received our messages a few
months ago and publicly stated she wants to help protect trees now. [5] We can
do it again and move the most influential MEPs today.</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Over 254,000 of us, including you have spoken up already. If many of us
contact our MEPs together, we can send a powerful message to protect our forests
at this crucial time.</BIG></P>

<P><SMALL>References:<BR>[1] See the findings in “Nature”: Between 2011–15 and
2016–18, harvested forest area in Europe increased from 0.76 million hectares to
1.13 million hectares.

The European Commission suggested changes to the important and binding Renewable
Energy Directive (REDII). It however failed to protect our forests (which is
often called ‘biomass’). Now it’s up to the EU Parliament to decide on the
proposal. It will essentially decide if burning trees counts as ‘renewable
energy’ and will receive more subsidies. Read more about it here:

Nils Torvalds, MEP from Finland is one of the main supporters of burning forests
and will write the report for the EU Parliament. Markus Pieper from Germany is
the main author for the ENVI committee in parliament. Other key politicians are:
Esther de Lange (Netherlands), Pedro Marques (Portugal), Iskra Mihaylova
(Bulgaria), Pascal Canfin (France), Christophe Grudler (France) and Ville
Niinisto (Finland).<BR>[5] Krista Mikkonen, the Finnish Environment Minister
reacted in a tweet to our action:
