Increasing deforestation as…

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.

Please stop expanding the wood pellet industry under the guise of a climate solution.
