Dogwood Alliance @dogwoodalliance.org · 06/10/2026New research commissioned by @nrdc.org finds that selected #EU countries & the #UK are spending €10 billion a year subsidizing bioenergy & other industries linked to forest loss. Public money should protect #forests, not help destroy them. Read more: buff.ly/4IGOHnB 010
Dogwood Alliance @dogwoodalliance.org · 01/10/2026And that’s a wrap! Last week, @m-legendre.bsky.social, Dogwood Alliance Campaigns Director, brought our mission to protect Southern #forests & communities from the UN to Harlem to climate movement spaces across #NYC.

Dogwood Alliance @dogwoodalliance.org · 21/09/2026#Indiana already has 23 operating #DataCenters, with 132 more planned. As communities face pressure on their energy systems, one thing must be clear: burning #forests for biomass is not the answer to growing data center demand. buff.ly/Nz7rVKQ 000
Dogwood Alliance @dogwoodalliance.org · 19/09/2026“Renewable” does not always mean clean. Our allies at @earthjustice.org break down the shared harms of wood biomass, biogas, & crop based biofuels, and how we can move toward real solutions. buff.ly/FuurVni 032

Dogwood Alliance @dogwoodalliance.org · 29/08/2026A caveman couldn’t write a worse solution… We shouldn’t cannibalize our #forests to feed #DataCenters.

Dogwood Alliance @dogwoodalliance.org · 27/08/2026Save the date! October 21 is the International Day of Action on Big Biomass. Big biomass is a false solution with real consequences for forests, communities, & our climate. Mark your calendar & get ready to take action. #BigBadBiomass 020

Dogwood Alliance @dogwoodalliance.org · 19/08/2026Wetlands protect our #water, reduce #flooding, and provide critical #wildlife habitat. As federal protections are rolled back, states must step up. Tell your state legislators to defend wetlands from pollution & destruction: buff.ly/2LsdVnp 022
Dogwood Alliance @dogwoodalliance.org · 14/08/2026#Congress wants to sell more forest cutting for biomass as a #wildfire solution. But cutting forests can make wildfires worse.

Dogwood Alliance @dogwoodalliance.org · 12/08/2026“Once they know, they are always ready to speak up & speak out.” Dr. Treva Gear warns that weakening public notice rules could leave #communities in the dark about #polluting industries moving into their neighborhoods. buff.ly/ZHjLNQi 000
Dogwood Alliance @dogwoodalliance.org · 11/08/2026The #AI data center boom is also a human rights issue. Communities deserve a say in projects that can affect their water, air, forests, & quality of life. #Biomass cannot be the answer to AI's massive energy demand. buff.ly/dtMSByr 000
Dogwood Alliance @dogwoodalliance.org · 04/08/2026One #AI data center can use up to 8 million gallons of water every day. These facilities have real impacts on local communities, #forests, & natural resources. buff.ly/dtMSByr 000
Dogwood Alliance @dogwoodalliance.org · 31/07/2026More than 15 data centers are planned or under construction in #NorthCarolina. As #AI expands, the #biomass industry wants to power these facilities by burning trees. Southern forests deserve better. bit.ly/biomassdatac... 000
Dogwood Alliance @dogwoodalliance.org · 30/07/2026One 300 MW #DataCenter could use as much electricity as 200,000 homes. The biomass industry wants to meet that demand by burning trees. Southern forests are not fuel for the #AI boom. bit.ly/biomassdatac... 000
Dogwood Alliance @dogwoodalliance.org · 28/07/2026We need our #forests. Not burned to power #AI. As #DataCenters expand across the South, we have a chance to stop biomass from becoming part of their energy equation. bit.ly/biomassdatac... 000
Dogwood Alliance @dogwoodalliance.org · 28/07/2026The biomass industry sees the #AI data center boom & wants in. We see #forests we cannot afford to lose. The line should be clear: No biomass for data centers. bit.ly/biomassdatac... 051
Dogwood Alliance @dogwoodalliance.org · 28/07/2026#AI data centers need enormous amounts of energy. Now the #biomass industry wants in. Burning forests to power the AI boom is not a climate solution. Our new #report explains what's at stake & how we can fight back. buff.ly/e5aBBM1 012
Dogwood Alliance @dogwoodalliance.org · 27/07/2026New research finds slow growing, long lived tree species face greater risks as #forests change. Healthy forests need diversity, complexity, & time. #Planting trees is not the same as protecting old-growth. buff.ly/RXkKKSJ 011
Dogwood Alliance @dogwoodalliance.org · 27/07/2026The #Okefenokee is officially a UNESCO World Heritage Site 🎉, a global recognition for places that are especially important to people & the planet. It’s the first place in #Georgia to receive this honor. A win worth celebrating! buff.ly/0tRM1Jp 020

Dogwood Alliance @dogwoodalliance.org · 22/07/2026A major change to the #EndangeredSpeciesAct makes it easier for activities like #logging, mining, & development. #Forests are more than trees.
