Humans need nature more than nature needs us. Forests have been unmanaged for eons, we must allow nature to be the infrastructure or we will need to build artificial infrastructure at a huge cost.
Wood pellets are marketed as a clean energy alternative, but we know that wood pellets are dirtier than coal at the smokestack.
Public is getting more educated about forests and all nature and the great ally nature is to us all.
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. This is unacceptable
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.
We will hold governments and industry accountable as we never have before
