Labor has moved an amendment that removes the inclusion of biomass sourced from native forest into the RET, which the Senate are debating and voting on as I write.   We need to let them know that burning native forests for energy is anything but renewable and will drive more deforestation and species extinction.

Phoning an MP isn't hard, nor is sending a short email to register your objection to including native forest wood in the RET as an eligible fuel source.

Request that the Senators (below) vote for Labor's amendment.
