<P><BIG>Hi,</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>The big debate is beginning. <STRONG>EU energy ministers and Members of
the European Parliament (MEPs) will start discussing if burning trees at mass
scale should be removed from the list of 'clean and renewable energies'.
</STRONG>[1] </BIG></P>
<P><BIG><STRONG>This is a huge opportunity.</STRONG> If they do remove them from
the list, we can save forests. All because it would stop billions of euros of
our tax money flowing into this dirty energy - so-called 'biomass'. Our money is
like oxygen to the industry - without it, the polluters won’t survive.
[2]</BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Experts are clear: When trees are cut down from forests and turned into
containers full of wood pellets to be burned, it <STRONG>accelerates the climate
crisis, pollutes the air we breathe, and destroys the homes of thousands of
animals.</STRONG> [3] </BIG></P>
<P><BIG><STRONG>But EU leaders won’t stop this industry, if they don’t hear from
us, Vladimir. For many of them this is just one of hundreds of topics they deal
with,</STRONG> and industry is already whispering reasons to maintain the status
quo in their ears. <STRONG>Let's tell them that we need to protect our forests!
If each of us contacts our representatives directly, we can pressure decision
makers to stop this and save our trees. </STRONG></BIG></P>

<P><BIG>We have fought against coal and are on the right track. Coal is being
stopped all over Europe. [6] But the polluting industry wants to keep their
business going and the money flowing in. How? <STRONG>They want to turn the
power plants where they burn coal into places where they burn trees to make
energy. </STRONG></BIG></P>
<P><BIG>Plans to replace coal with this dangerous way to produce energy have
already been made, from Finland, Netherlands, Denmark to Germany, Spain and
Italy. [4]</BIG></P>

<P><BIG>We are already losing our forests at an alarming rate. And these plans
mean we could lose even more. Even worse – according to top scientists, burning
trees would catapult us towards climate destruction even faster.
[5]<BR> <BR>But together we could stop the EU from funding this dangerous
industry once and for all. <STRONG>When leaders meet they just have to stop
labelling the mass burning of trees as 'green energy’.</STRONG></BIG></P>
<P><BIG>It won’t be easy to stop this. But <STRONG>a public outcry could change
the rules. </STRONG></BIG></P>

<P><SMALL>References:<BR>[1] The environmental committee is debating the policy;
the first deadline is on February 9, 2022. A vote is expected in May. The
influential industry committee will vote in approximately June this year. Our
heads of state and energy ministers also work on the policy. One important
meeting is happening on the 21/22 January.<BR>[2] In many countries, there is a
push by industry to transform coal plants into plants that will burn trees. This
is a terrible idea. More here: “The Shift from Coal to Biomass Is on in Europe”

Europe’s planned biomass conversion projects would require 36m tonnes of wood
pellets every year, equal to the entire current global wood pellet production.
This would require forests covering 2,700 sq km to be cut down annually, the
equivalent of half the Black Forest in Germany.
