Program Description
Event Details
This popular event features provocative documentaries spotlighting relevant environmental topics facing the planet today. This year's series is made possible through generous support from Peace Health. Clark County Green Neighbors, and Watershed Alliance of Southwest Washington.
This month's film is Burned: Are Trees the New Coal? Burned: Are Trees the New Coal? tells the little-known story of the accelerating destruction of our forests for fuel, and probes the policy loopholes, huge subsidies, and blatant green washing of the burgeoning biomass power industry. The film follows a dedicated group of forest activists, ecologists, carbon scientists, and concerned citizens who are fighting to establish the enormous value of our forests, protect their communities, debunk this false solution to climate change, and alter energy policy both in the US and abroad.
