Stop expanding the wood…

Stop expanding the wood pellet industry – it’s a false climate solution that is dirtier than coal at the smokestack. Many Canadian provinces including Ontario are logging whole trees from primary forests to meet the growing demand for wood pellets. Amidst an ever growing climate crisis, we simply can’t afford to keep chopping down forests to make a fuel that emits immense amounts of carbon dioxide. Moreover, it can take centuries for forests to regain the majority of their carbon storage after being logged. Once again, wood pellets are a false climate solution.
