DESCRIPTION:You’re invited to take part in the National Day of Forest-Climate Action 
 on Tuesday, May 28 (the day after Memorial Day)! To sign up, email eia [at] 
 eco-integrityalliance [dot] org!\n\nWhen you think of an “emergency” in 
 the natural world, what comes to mind? Climate emergency? Biodiversity 
 emergency? Extinction emergency? \n\nIgnoring all that, the U.S. Forest 
 Service has instead declared a LOGGING “EMERGENCY,” putting almost 1 
 million acres of biodiverse public forests on the chopping block over the 
 last year alone, detonating a virtual “carbon bomb” (estimated 90 tons 
 of CO2 released per acre) while undercutting President Biden’s commitment 
 to protect old growth National Forests.\n\nAs of March 2024, 894,898 acres 
 across California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, South Dakota, and 
 Washington are slated to be logged (including clearcutting and targeting 
 mature and old growth trees) under an anti-science, taxpayer-subsidized 
 scheme, with a goal of cutting 45 million acres (!) over the coming 
 decades.\n\nWhat’s more, western forests are at extreme risk from a 
 resurgence of the air- and carbon-polluting “biomass” industry 
 threatening to push us over the climate and biodiversity tipping 
 point.\n\nWhich is why we’re inviting YOU to take part in the National 
 Day of Forest-Climate Action on Tuesday, May 28 (the day after Memorial 
 Day)!\n\nPlanned actions:\n\n–Lost Sierra Forest-Climate Action Camp with 
 Lost Sierra Forest Defense (Plumas County, California)\n\n–Guided hike in 
 roadless area threatened by “emergency” logging with Eco-Integrity 
 Alliance (Douglas County, Colorado)\n\n–Heartwood Forest Council with 
 Heartwood (Meigs County, Ohio)\n\n–Billboard naming politicians wasting 
 tax dollars on fraudulent “wildfire fuel reduction” logging with Eco 
 Advocates NW (Salem, Oregon)\n\n-Action with Gallatin Wildlife Association 
 (Bozeman, Montana)\n\n-Tabling with Eco-Integrity Alliance (Utah)\n\n[YOUR 
 ACTION HERE!]\n\nIf your local area isn’t already covered, we urge you to 
 plan your own LEGAL, NON-VIOLENT action, be it a protest, hike through 
 threatened forest, wildlife survey, email/call in/lobbying day for a local 
 politician, or anything else that sends the message that protecting forests 
 is one of the easiest and most effective ways to protect the 
 climate.\n\nSoon as you’ve got an action planned, be sure to email us at 
 eia [at] eco-integrityalliance [dot] org so we can list you on the website 
 and help you spread the word!\n\nFor the Forest,\n\nEco-Integrity
