The document is a petition addressed to Enviva leadership, alleging that the company's operations destroy 175,000 acres of Southern forests annually and release toxic pollution and wood dust into surrounding communities. The signatories demand immediate actions, including the installation of dust control plans, the cessation of nighttime operations, a halt to sourcing from bottomland hardwood forests, and the establishment of a 'Good Neighbor Fund' to provide air purifiers and health centers for impacted residents. Furthermore, the petition calls for Enviva to stop claiming wood pellets are clean energy, cease taking government subsidies, and halt production expansion.
