When energy companies burn biomass (trees and other plants) for electricity, the resulting pollution harms the health of local communities and ecosystems and contributes to global warming just like coal. 

Right now the EPA is making a decision that could have a huge impact on our climate: label biomass as carbon neutral -- and ignore its global warming impact -- or acknowledge that biomass has a carbon footprint and set standards to limit and reduce it.  While there is plenty of evidence to the contrary, the forestry industry is pushing hard on the EPA to ignore the carbon emissions from biomass.

Take action now and tell EPA that biomass emissions matter!

The EPA is looking for information on the emissions of biomass. For this reason, citations in the comments delivered to the EPA are critically important. Please make sure to include citations or use the ones provided below.
