Thanks for the link. I have expanded the Agenda 21 file to include this link. Then, broke it down to the various locales’ listed on that page.
Interesting that a number of the links no longer function.
I believe that activists in each state might have success if they knew whom to protest, or sue. Next, we should add up the $$ going to these scams.
I get the feeling from viewing some of your links that you’ve been doing a little “looking” yourself. LOL
Scroll to the bottom for those involved.
It’s kind of like eating peanuts. Once you start, it’s hard to stop.
I am not sure that the Biomass group necessarily an Agenda 21 thing. Most of the members of the board are science types that turn waste into fuel. They have been doing this for a while now.
