 east Massachusetts uses cranberry growing as cover for clear-cutting hundr
 eds of acres of mature forest\, extracting gravel and sand in strip mines\
 , and installing toxic industrial solar arrays on arsenic-treated poles in
  delicate pine barrens. Headquartered in Wareham\, MA\, Makepeace is being
  awarded the Private Company Board of the Year by the National Association
  of Corporate Directors - New England.\n\nMakepeace is responsible for the
  largest clear-cutting operation in Southeast Massachusetts of the globall
 y rare Pine Barrens in the towns of Plymouth\, Carver and Wareham. They ar
 e being passed off as a "green" company and receiving millions of dollars 
 of industrial solar subsidies from the state because of their perpetual gr
 eenwashing to hide their true activities. Jim Kane\, President and Chief E
 xecutive officer of A.D. Makepeace is the primary spokesperson for the com
 pany.\n\nSave the Pine Barrens and Massachusetts Peace Action Indigenous S

 \, of the Pine Barrens\, the extraction of sand\, gravel and silicon from 
 the earth that has ruined dozens of residential wells and is endangering t
 he sole-source aquifer for 8 neighboring towns.\n\nThe pine barrens forest
 s and sand and gravel act as a natural filter for the carbon emissions cre
 ating cleaner air and water. Clear cutting and extraction take away this f
 ilter and allow pollution of water and the air.\n\nGo to this Facebook [LI
