Less than one percent of North Carolina's energy comes from renewable resources." en-us 2017-10-13 00:32:23 UTC 2017-10-13 01:04:29 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Xmastree.png wesleysolomon https://padlet.com/wesleysolomon/fp9hb43g5asr/wish/196665251 Biomass is renewable! (Yay!)

When biomass is burned, it releases Carbon Dioxide (CO2)
