London, UK. 18th April 2018. Environmental group Biofuelwatch hold their 'Time to Twig' Masked Ball Forest Flashmob outside the Marylebone hotel where the largest international biomass conference was taking place. Biomass, such as that supplied by Enviva to the UK's Drax power station, comes from clear cutting unique ecosystems in the southern US, creating large scale environmental degradation and dumping toxic dust near communities, turning forests into sawdust pellets. Environmental scientists are now virtually united in condemning the practice which destroys the only known large-scale method of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, the forest, agreeing, as one of the speakers noted, with the commonsense which even primary school children appreciate. Wood burning returns carbon dioxide to the air which has taken the forests hundreds of years to remove. The protesters call for an end to this ridiculous industry, and the immediate cessation of the totally inappropriate environmental subsidy for this destructive and highly polluting practice.
