NOW IS THE TIME TO AGAIN HELP TO SAVE OUR FORESTS

A request from ChipBusters
 
 The Rudd government has been a disaster on the environment and climate change. As many of you know, last year they changed the Mandatory Renewable Energy legislation to create a loophole to classify native forest waste IE Woodchips as a renewable energy resource and, as such, with access to government subsidies and funding in competition with solar, wind and tidal power.
 
All around the countrry the woodchippers are now moving on woodchip-fired power station plans - the first cab off the rank looks like Eden with the active support of the NSW govt.
 
Over the past few months my new group, ChipBusters, has had thousands of people sign letters to Kevin Rudd opposing continuing export woodchipping of our forests for paper pulp and proposed woodchipping for domestic electricity generation. Woodchipping brings all the associated climate change, biodiversity and water conservation disasters.
