Location Details:
Emeryville Home Depot (3838 Hollis Avenue Emeryville, CA

We're calling on The Home Depot to stop buying wood products from the Matte and Angelini Groups, and to use their influence to protect forests and rivers in Patagonia from mega-dams.

The Home Depot is the largest US buyer of timber products from the Matte and Angelini Groups, two Chilean companies that are part of a consortium planning to build 5 dams on two pristine rivers in Patagonia, southern Chile. The dams and their associated transmission lines would ruin rivers, flood rare endangered forests and destroy livelihoods. The 1,500-mile transmission lines would slice through rare Patagonian forests, creating the world's longest clearcut.
