A petition addressed to Enviva leadership by 107 organizations and 12,377 individuals, demanding immediate action to mitigate the environmental and social damages caused by the company's wood pellet operations in the US South.

• The petition alleges that Enviva's operations cause significant environmental damage, including the annual destruction of 175,000 acres of forests in the US South and the release of wood dust and toxic pollution from production facilities.
• The signatories claim that burning wood pellets results in higher carbon emissions than burning coal and challenge the industry's characterization of wood pellets as clean and renewable energy.
• The petition demands several operational changes to protect local residents, including the installation of fugitive dust control plans, the cessation of nighttime operations between 10pm and 7am, and a halt to production expansion.
• The petition calls for the establishment of a 'Good Neighbor Fund' to finance community improvements such as air purifiers, monitors, new health centers, clean water infrastructure, and pressure washing for houses and cars affected by dust.
• The petition requests that Enviva stop sourcing from bottomland hardwood forests and cease accepting government subsidies and grants for its products.
