Stop logging the boreal forest and trampoling on Indigenous rights in order to support the wood pellet industry. Many species of birds and animals are on the brink of extinction because the boreal forest, a major carbon sequestering resource in Canada, is being reduced in size through logging in order to provide jobs for workers from the coal mining industry. This is a travesty and should be stopped immediately. Any workers rendered redundant by the shut-down of coal mines should be retrained to work in renewable energy fields, not the logging industry that is destroying important habitat for species at risk. Furthermore, burning wood pellets releases more carbon into the atmosphere than burning coal so should not be passed off to the public as a 'green solution' to the ever increasing carbon footprint of the people of Canada. Have the courage to stand up to the pressures of big corporations and make decisions that will benefit the planet and the people of Ontario.
