One of the main products of…

One of the main products of Ontario’s forest biomass industry is wood pellets. Wood pellets are marketed as a clean energy alternative, but we know that wood pellets are dirtier than coal at the smokestack.
Increasing deforestation as a climate solution is not viable. While the government and industry claim that only waste wood is used to manufacture wood pellets, more whole trees from primary, boreal forests are being logged to meet the demands of this growing industry.
The Ontario government claims that expanding the wood pellet industry will provide alternative employment for fossil fuel workers, but these would be jobs in an industry that dumps more carbon into the atmosphere than what it's replacing.
It is complete insanity to think this is a good idea.
Leave the trees alone.
They are the lungs of the planet.
It take a long time to grow a tree.
Think of what earth will be like when all the trees are gone.
This is NOT a solution this is a DISASTER in the making.
