Free Screening of BURNED - Are Trees The New Coal?

Online Tomorrow - Thursday, Jan. 28th at 7 PM

Renewable energy is a key to addressing climate change, but there is a dirty secret hiding in plain sight! Join us for an online viewing of the acclaimed documentary BURNED to learn how logging forests and burning trees is supported and subsidized as ³clean," ³carbon neutral² and ³renewable² even though it is leading to deforestation, reducing biodiversity, polluting our air and making climate change worse!

Standing Trees Vermont, a new coalition working to protect, preserve and restore forests on our State and Federal lands, is hosting this event with the support of our many allies across the region. Coalition members as well as the film-makers Lisa Merton and Chris Hardee will be available for questions and answers following the film. All are welcome!

BURNED - Are Trees The New Coal? Through interviews with activists, experts, and citizens, along with verité-style footage shot across the U.S. and in Europe, BURNED interweaves the science of climate change, energy-policy disputes, the biomass industry's practices, forest ecology, the conflict over jobs, and the actions of activists and citizens who are working to protect their health, the health of their communities, of our forests and our climate.
