350PDX and our allies are gearing up for a new campaign against British energy giant Drax, who has proposed building a wood biomass processing and export facility in Longview, Washington. This plant would use one million tons of wood each year, to grind into pellets and ship to east Asia for burn in industrial power plants. We are learning from our allies in the Dogwood Alliance about the devastation these biomass plants have wrought on forests and communities in the south, and we’re gearing up to keep Drax out of the NW.

The first step in this campaign is learning more about the dangers of biomass. So together, we’re going to gather on Monday, January 8 at the Clinton Street Theater to watch the film Burned, followed by a brief panel discussion from local activists and experts.

Get your tickets today! Suggested donation of $15, but no one turned away for lack of funds.

Attending the screening will also be a good way to join the campaign to stop Drax, as there will be a discussion following the screening about the Drax proposal and what you can do to stop it.
