- Breathing in air pollution from wood burning increases your risk of heart & lung disease, asthma, diabetes & dementia. Even homes with newer “Ecodesign” wood burners are 3 times more polluted than those without. This #CleanAirNight, @globalactionplan.bsky.social share the facts about wood burning.

- Reposted by BiofuelwatchThe UK just committed £22bn to carbon capture and storage – a tech with an 80% failure rate that lets oil & gas greenwash their emissions. At this CCS conference, most speakers repped fossil fuel companies. Share if you think it's absurd we're funding tech that protects fossil fuel profits 🙃

- Rare good news: Drax suspends plans for a large new pellet plant in Longview, WA (tdn.com/news/local/b...), which has faced opposition from local communities and environmental organisations for its impacts on forests and public health. See washingtonstatestandard.com/2025/05/09/w... #AxeDrax
- Drax cuts staff working on #BECCS, turns away from carbon capture: www.thetimes.com/article/6e5b... . As we've been saying for years, they don't have the technical know-how for it. However, Drax keeps doubling down on continuing to burn millions of tonnes of imported wood pellets nonetheless.

- Hugely depressing - Drax burning record amounts of wood, according to www.theguardian.com/business/202... . All because of generous subsidies paid via every UK resident's electricity bills. Massive harm to forests, esp. in southeastern US and western Canada. #BigBadBiomass #AxeDrax
