The Boreal forest in its…

The Boreal forest in its native unplundered state is of vital necessity to human existence on the planet and as a combat for climate change. It is a criminal act by Ontario to allow the decimation of the forest for burning pellets and generating electricity. It is an act of suicide. 95% of the Boreal forests of Canada is not wood. It is an intricate web of life that hosts thousands of species. The trees sequester carbon from the atmosphere and release oxygen vital for human existence and all of life on earth. Around the world humans are cutting down the forest like there is no tomorrow and if we keep doing it there will be no more tomorrow. Cutting down the forests to simply turn them into biomas is total stupidity. We might as well start cutting out parts of our lungs to make sandwiches it makes about as much sense. But short term thinking politicians focused on having an economy think oh lets expand our plunder. But I understand that without the forest of this planet humans existence will come to an end. The only single reason human life can exist on this planet is because intact forests do what they do, they clean the air of carbon and the release oxygen and create an environment fit for human life. This is not the time for Ontario to expand its bio mas activities but a time for it to rethink its methods of generating electricity. It is time for Ontario to invest heavily in alternative means of power generation. Wind and water turbines. Water turbines placed in the municipal water system where the water moves 24/7 would allow every Ontarian to help this effort every time they bathe or do the dishes or wash the car and this electricity is free for the collecting. All it takes is generating the will to use alternatives. Wind turbines placed beside the busiest hiways as used in Turkey so every passing vehicle spins the turbine free power is generated. There are numerous options that just require the political will to place a greater value on the intact forest treasures of the Boreal forest. There are many options. Lets invest in using our common sense instead of taking the easy path that plunders our childrens future and cutting down the forest.
