Over a dozen Green Diamond Resource Company-owned trucks were made inoperable in honor of Tortuguita and all fallen forests and forest defenders. Green Diamond is the fifth largest private land occupier in the U.S. and is responsible for devastating clearcuts and widespread herbicide use, decimating the forests and poisoning the water, accelerating the worsening climate crisis. We hope this will serve to call attention to the rapacious nature of extractive capitalism. The forest calls you to fight back.
