We oppose the governments…

We oppose the governments plan to expand the production of wood pellets. Burning wood pellets produces as much greenhouse gases as does burning wood. Why would the government encourage such a detrimental industry. Surely it must be obvious to anyone that if it is profitable to use waste wood to create wood pellets, there would be nothing to stop the tree harvest from oozing into the “waste trees”. It’s not the Amazon rainforest, but destroying our boreal forests thereby destroying the environment that supports countless natural species, indigenous people, and sequesters CO2, for profit , is really the same thing.
The Ford government has already gutted the Endangered Species Act, and this latest proposal underlines the Conservative face of “to discount climate change, to trash the environment, all in favour of short term profit for a few”
Please reconsider .
