On Ontario's Draft Forest…

On Ontario's Draft Forest Biomass Action Plan:

Ontario should not be supporting the biomass industry, which includes chopping down boreal forests to produce electricity.

The forestry industry is marketing wood pellets (biomass) as a climate solution to replace fossil fuels, but burning wood pellets is dirtier than coal at the smokestack. While wood pellets are supposed to be made from wood waste and dead trees, we’re seeing more whole trees from across Canada, logged and exported to produce carbon loaded energy internationally.

I expect better from the Ontario Provincial government and insist that you change the Forest Biomass Action Plan to eliminate, in Ontario, the harvesting of live trees to make wood pellets!
