Stopthebeetle.info is a new site that asks people to pledge not to move firewood- check it out!
The new site www.stopthebeetle.info has a pledge that you can sign to show your dedication to not moving firewood, as well as some good information on the Emerald Ash Borer.
Here at Don't Move Firewood, we are equal opportunity invasive insect non-transporters. I feel it is important to say that despite the Emerald ash borer being a particularly troublesome pest, the movement of firewood anywhere, not just in and around the midwest and central atlantic states, is a problem. Sometimes I worry that someone in a state like Oregon will not think this matters to them. But it does! They have pests of their own (like Sudden Oak Death).
The firewood thing isn't lots of little special problems, or even a few big problems. It is one giant problem- the movement of invasive tree killers. Just like climate change is not a problem with light bulbs, or SUVs, but instead a problem of the whole earth.
