The Guardian revealed late last year that forestry experts believed the company had continued to source 250-year-old trees from some of Canada’s oldest forests via the Burns Lake pellet plant as recently as last summer. At the time, Drax said it “does not source biomass from designated areas of old growth and only sources woody biomass from well-managed, sustainable forests”.

Een prettige leefomgeving, weerbaarheid tegen klimaatverandering en een betere gezondheid. Dat kan alleen als de overheid en het bedrijfsleven stappen zetten. Dat is de kern van een rapport van de Wetenschappelijke Klimaatraad, dat gedrag als uitgangspunt neemt.

“Over a dozen young Americans as well as a coalition of environmental and public health groups on Wednesday filed a pair of legal challenges against President Donald Trump’s administration for repealing the “endangerment finding” that enabled federal policies aimed at combating the fossil fuel-driven climate emergency.

“Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin announced the long-anticipated move last week. The coalition of groups responded with a petition at the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit that names him and the EPA.

“”The endangerment finding has been the backbone of climate policy for 17 years, protecting us from air pollution that endangers public health and welfare—including greenhouse gases that are driving climate change,” explained Lawrence Hafetz, legal director at Clean Air Council, one of the groups behind the case, in a statement.”

This article served as a reminder, for me, that in the event of a disaster it's crucial to know about the needs of your neighbours. Therefore, it's important to connect with your neighbours before disaster, as a form of preparedness. I feel that it's a quite radical thing to do these days. Another upside is that it's fun to make new friends 😁

Environmental and health groups sued the E.P.A. over its elimination of the endangerment finding. The matter is likely to end up before the Supreme Court.
