"Burned-Are Trees the New Coal?"

The acclaimed movie “Burned – Are Trees the New Coal?” will be shown on Friday, October 25 in the Community Room. This stunning film reveals the controversy over the power industry’s destruction of vast forests for fuel, calling trees a “renewable” resource. Burning wood sends carbon into the atmosphere while destroying a forest’s ability to sequester carbon and protect wildlife. The film is offered by York Ready for 100%, a group of local citizens advocating for clean renewable energy. All YRF100% and Library events are free and open to the public. Refreshments will be available.
