DESCRIPTION:Event details: https://xrboston.org/action/solidarity-love-you
 r-national-forests2/\n\nXR Boston is supporting XR Vermont in their effort
 s to stop logging the Telephone Gap Area of the Green Mountain National Fo
 rest. We will be having a  twitterstorm on Mon Feb 28 to remind everyone t
 o love their national forests. \nLetting our trees stand is the best way t
 o remove and store atmospheric carbon dioxide. We must save life on earth.
 \n\nHowever\, our government feels otherwise. Did you know that the US Nat
 ional Forest Service:\n\n1.  Has logged or plans to log over 43\,000 acres
  of the Green Mountain National Forest? This area is approximately the siz
 e of Washington DC. The proposed Telephone Gap Project will open up 11\,00
 0 additional acres\, larger than the entire area of Burlington\, VT?\n2.  
 Spends hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars annually subsidizing comme
 rcial logging activities?\n3.  Allows private companies to cut down trees\
 , mine for coal\, drill for oil and gas\, and bulldoze pipeline routes in 
 US National Forests?\n4.  Has traditionally viewed trees as crops and has 
 prioritized timber harvests in the US National Forests?\n\nHere is a [news
  clip](https://www.wcax.com/2022/02/06/vermonters-protest-logging-green-mo
 untain-national-forest/) of XR Vermont's action on Saturday February 5. \n
 \nSo\, on Monday February 28\, get out and show your love for our National
  Forests. Here is the [twittersheet](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1X
