Re:,Draft Forest Biomass Action Plan
Please put an end to the wood pellet industry expansion. Burning wood pellets is dirtier than coal at the smokestack. Ontario and other Canadian provinces are logging whole trees from primary forests in an unsustainable attempt to reap the profits from an increasing demand for wood pellets. Rapid forest loss equates to planetary death; therefore, environmental checks and balances should be increased rather than even considering the proposal to “streamline permitting and reduce the regulatory burden for all sectors which use forest biomass”- which is essentially offering a blank cheque for destruction fueled by greed, power, and dominance. False climate solutions are not the answer. We know better, so let’s do better by putting a collective effort into ethical consideration of what is best for the land, all inhabitants, and environmental sustainability.
