Hello, Please stop the…

Hello,

Please stop the expansion of the wood pellet industry, which is little more than greenwashing. Wood pellets are not an answer to the climate crisis and should not be presented as such. Cutting down forests for energy is not a solution. We need old growth forests to soak up the huge amount of carbon we spew into the atmosphere. Even though 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. Burning wood pellets is actually dirtier than coal at the smokestack, for goodness sake!

This is madness. Do not expand the wood pellet industry. Instead, we must focus our efforts on expanding solar, wind, and hydroelectricity.

Regards,
Jesse
