Forests over Profits

The Wall Street investors driving the climate crisis and big timber corporations clearcutting PNW forests are coming to Portland for the annual “Who Will Own the Forest?” conference---now called “Canopy”---September 24-26. These big polluters hope to stall real climate action by pushing false climate solutions–like biomass & carbon offsets–to generate even more profit at the expense of communities, the climate and our forests.

On this episode of Locus Focus we talk with Alex Budd, Alliance Organizer with Pacific Northwest Forest Climate Alliance about what has become another annual event: a rally and workshop to confront these Wall Street elites and call out their false climate solutions.   https://forestsoverprofits.org/
