Petition text
STOP BURNING OUR TREES
I think it’s wrong to chop down UK trees and
burn them in power stations.
Burning trees emits more CO2, not less
We can’t spare the trees
Burning trees puts up the price of electricity
and wood products
Burning trees will eventually cost hundreds
of UK jobs
There are more sensible ways to cut
CO2 emissions from power generation
Recent Campaign comments
“What about the millions of tonnes of waste being buried in landfill. Shouldn’t we be burning that first?”
“We might be running out of oil but is burning trees really the best answer!”
