I heard the Ontario government is considering cutting down the Boreal forest to make wood pellets in order to generate electricity. I believe this to be a disastrous mistake as it will add more carbon into the air as it is a dirty fuel. We all know climate warming is happening all over the world and yet to consider cutting down a valuable forest that is helping Canada stay cool, is a huge mistake.

We need to do everything in our power to protect the environment so it doesn't continue to cause havoc and without trees, we won't have a buffer. We must find other cleaner ways to generate electricity than using a fuel that that is dirty and harmful.

If Canada had planted trees whenever they cut them down, our climate wouldn't be suffering as much as it is now. Please reconsider finding electricity in this manner and find a much better way instead. Please do not cut down those trees. Think of the long term future.
