We cannot afford false climate solutions that are marching us into planetary catastrophe while trampling Indigenous Sovereignty and crucial biodiversity.
Wood pellets are marketed as a clean energy alternative, but we know that wood pellets are dirtier than coal at the smokestack.

It isn’t only waste wood, as you claim, used to manufacture wood pellets, but whole trees from primary, boreal forests are being used. This is not acceptable! Increasing deforestation as a climate solution is not viable.

You claim 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.
